S Korea's Cabinet OKs ratification bill on Korea-U.S. FTA

SEOUL, June 3 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's Cabinet approved Friday a ratification bill on a free trade accord with the United States that was temporarily withdrawn from parliament for translation errors.

The newly endorsed bill fixed translation errors in the Korean text and included supplementary agreements Seoul and Washington reached last December over auto trade.

South Korea and the United States have faced domestic opposition against legislative endorsement of the trade deal, originally signed in 2007, due to differences over auto trade imbalances and U.S. beef imports.
