[세종=이데일리 한광범 문승관 기자] Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Seong Yun-mo said, “We will try to match the supply-demand relationship between domestic semiconductor companies such as Hyundai Motor Company and Kia, etc., in the mid- to long-term,” regarding the supply-demand shortage of automotive semiconductors.
On the 8th, Minister Seong attended the general meeting for the report on the work of the Small and Medium Venture Business Committee of the National Assembly, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. “I replied.
He explained that the current shortage in the supply and demand of semiconductors for automobiles was “caused by excessive demand around the world.” Minister Seong said, “Vehicle semiconductors are not a part that requires high-level technology or creates great added value,” he said. “So, the existing semiconductor companies are investing less in this field.”
He added, “The automotive semiconductor (replacement cycle) lasts 5 to 10 years, unlike other industries such as mobile phones, which are 2 to 3 years old,” he said. “There is a shortage of supply due to such structural problems.”
Regarding the suspicion that the Ministry of Industry inspected a private organization that opposes the post-nuclear policy, Minister Seong said, “I know it as a simple trend report.”
As a result of reviewing the list of 530 deleted files related to the early closure of the Wolseong 1, many of the files suspected of being inspected by civilians were found.
Minister Seong said, “I know the data as a trend report,” he said. “In the enforcement rules, it is required to draw up necessary trends in nuclear power generation, such as related organizations such as civic groups and residents’ councils.”
He added, “I am telling you that the data is currently related to the trial and cannot be disclosed.” “Although the manager and the director can order the amendment, it may be a process for the secretary to make a good report.”
Regarding the accusation of three officials from the Ministry of Industry for deleting the economic feasibility evaluation data of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, Minister Seong said, “If I have to take responsibility as the head of the organization, I will not avoid it. “I am very sorry for what has been done and I feel a great sense of responsibility as the head of the organization.”
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Industry decided to establish and announce an energy-carbon-neutral innovation strategy by the second half of this year in the business report. In the first quarter, a total of 125.7 billion won will be invested this year for technology development in five areas to propose a related law for the installation of an integrated wind power license and license mechanism and foster the hydrogen industry.
