The purpose of this paper is to analyze from a law and economics perspective, two issues that have become increasingly prominent in Europe and East Asian relations. The first is that of product origin, and includes the issue of Japanese automobile “transplants” in Europe. The second is that of the European Community’s recent new legislation on “unfair” trading practices in services, which can also be seen as a type of anti-dumping policy towards services; a Korean company has been the first to suffer from this new legislation. In our paper, we focus on these two cases, one Japanese, and the other Korean, to better analyze the law and economics of future Europe-East Asian relations.
