President approves financial services and fair trade commissioners' appointments

President Lee Jae Myung approved the appointments of Lee Eok-won as chairman of the Financial Services Commission and Ju Biung-ghi as chairman of the Fair Trade Commission on Friday, the presidential office said Saturday.

A presidential office official told Yonhap on Saturday that the "president approved the appointments on Friday" as the National Assembly failed to send a report on the personnel hearing past the resubmission deadline on Thursday.

The Assembly’s hearings for the nominees concluded on Monday, but lawmakers did not adopt their reports, prompting Lee to reiterate his request that the documents be sent by Thursday

Under the law on confirmation hearings, if the Assembly does not adopt a report by the deadline, the president may set a new deadline within 10 days and request that the report be resent. If the legislature still fails to comply, the president may proceed with the appointment.

Earlier on Thursday, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung told reporters that “both nominees were sufficiently vetted on their qualifications and capabilities in their respective fields through the hearings,” adding that despite the government’s renewed request to avoid a vacuum in state affairs, “the National Assembly is refusing to adopt and send the reports.”

이재명 대통령은 이억원 금융위원장과 주병기 공정거래위원장의 임명안을 어제 재가했습니다.

두 후보자의 인사청문 기간은 지난 8일 종료됐지만 여야는 인사청문보고서 채택에 합의하지 못했으며, 이에 이 대통령은 11일까지 보고서를 보내달라고 재차 요청했으나 결국 기한 내 송부는 이뤄지지 못했습니다.

인사청문회법에 따라 대통령은 기한 내 청문보고서 채택이 불발된 경우 10일 이내 기간을 정해 보고서 재송부를 요청할 수 있고, 국회가 여기에도 응하지 않으면 임명을 강행할 수 있습니다.
