Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.
Evidence Scorecard
A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.
Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.817); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.
Could also be…
- •Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
- •Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
- •A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Matched concepts: Port State Measures ↔ 원양산업; illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing ↔ 어업; port ↔ 항만
Cross-lingual similarity 55/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.
Similarity type: treaty ratification → statutory transposition (port-state measures + MCS/penalty regime)
Matched Concepts
3 pairsThe FAO Agreement on Port State Measures① to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing② (PSMA) was adopted by the FAO Conference at its 36th Session in Rome on 22 November 2009 (Resolution 12/2009) and entered into force on 5 June 2016 — the first binding international treaty specifically targeting IUU fishing. It applies to foreign fishing vessels seeking entry into a State's designated port③s and obliges port③ States to deny entry, inspect, and refuse landing/transhipment services to vessels implicated in IUU fishing, thereby blocking illegally caught fish from reaching markets. The Republic of Korea is a Party to the PSMA (listed as Party No. 59 on FAO's official parties register).
대한민국은 「원양산업①발전법」(소관: 해양수산부)을 통해 PSMA의 항만③국조치 의무를 국내에 이행한다. 2013년 11월 26일 EU가 한국을 IUU 어업② 비협조 가능 제3국(예비 IUU 어업②국, '황색경고')으로 지정하고 미국도 IUU 어업②국으로 지정하자, 한국은 동 법을 대폭 개정하여 모니터링·통제·감시(MCS) 역량, 항만③ 검색·양륙 제한, 옵서버, 위반 제재를 강화했고 이를 근거로 2015년 4월 EU 지정에서 해제('녹색카드')되었다. 이후 법률 제16645호 일부개정법률이 2019년 11월 26일 공포(2020년 11월 27일 시행)되어, 허가 없이 원양어업②에 종사한 자 등에 대한 과징금(課徵金) 제도(제31조의2 신설)를 도입하고 PSMA 주요 규정을 국내 항만③국조치 고시에 전면 반영하여 검색 대상을 어획물 적재 여부와 무관하게 국내 입항 모든 선박으로 확대했다.
