"핵심기술 외국인 연구원 사전승인율 10%…기술유출 위협 방치"

Quick Look

국민의힘 최수진 의원실이 산업통상부 자료를 분석한 결과, 최근 5년간 보안 과제에 참여한 외국인 연구인력 중 사전승인 절차를 거친 사례는 3건에 불과해 국가 핵심기술 유출 우려가 제기됐다고 11일 밝혔다.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

국가 핵심기술 유출 방지를 위해 보안 과제에 외국인 연구인력이 참여할 경우 사전승인 절차가 필요하지만, 산업통상부는 이에 대한 명확한 규정이나 통보 의무가 없다고 밝혀왔다.

국힘 최수진 의원실 분석…"외국인에 뒷문 열어준 안보 자해행위"

(서울=연합뉴스) 조다운 기자 = 산업통상부가 소관 연구·개발(R&D) 사업에 사전검증을 거치지 않은 외국인의 참여를 방치하고 있어 국가 핵심기술이 유출될 우려가 크다는 지적이 11일 나왔다.

국회 산업통상자원중소벤처기업위원회 소속 국민의힘 최수진 의원실이 이날 산업통상부·한국산업기술기획평가원(산기평)에서 받은 자료에 따르면, 2022년부터 올해까지 최근 5년간 외국인 연구인력이 투입된 헬기 주기어박스, 전고체 배터리 개발 등 31개 보안 과제 중 사전승인 절차를 거친 과제는 3건(9.7%)에 그쳤다.

사전승인 절차를 이행하지 않은 사례는 22건(71.0%), 사전승인 절차가 미흡한 사례는 6건(19.3%)이었다.

기술 해외 유출을 막기 위해서는 보안 과제 연구에 참여하려는 외국인 연구원의 위험성 여부를 점검하고 이를 국가정보원 등 당국에 통보해야 한다. 일례로 과학기술정보통신부·중소벤처기업부의 경우 보안 과제에 외국인을 투입할 경우 연구보안심의회를 거치도록 한다.

그러나 산업부는 사전승인 통보 절차에 대해 "장관 보고나 국정원 통보 의무 규정 자체가 없다"고 답변했고, 산업부 소관 연구 중에서는 정식 심사 대신 '조직 대표이사 승인'·'해외전문가 채용 건' 등 단순 기업 인사 채용 결재문을 보안심사 증빙으로 제출한 경우도 있었고 최 의원은 지적했다.

이러한 지적에 산업부는 당초 '보안심사를 우회한 사례는 없다'고 답변했으나, 이후 승인받아야 한다는 사실을 미처 인지하지 못해 사후승인을 받은 인원이 있다'며 뒤늦게 보안 공백을 인정했다고 최 의원은 전했다. 과제를 수행한 일부 기업 또한 문제가 된 외국인 인력을 과제에서 제외했다.

최 의원은 "국가 핵심기술 유출 문제가 커지는 상황에서 이를 보호해야 할 산업부가 자기들 안방에선 외국인에 뒷문을 열어두고 있었다. 명백한 안보 자해행위"라며 "보안규정을 위반한 과제 전체를 재조사해 사업비 환수 등 강력한 조치를 검토해야 한다"고 말했다.

Open Questions

  • 사전승인 미이행으로 인한 실제 기술 유출 사례는 있었는가?
  • 산업통상부가 향후 보안 절차를 어떻게 강화할 것인가?
  • 다른 부처의 보안 심의회 운영 사례는 어떤가?

Kim, trying to overcome the lowest approval rating... Strengthening on-site actions amid party-government coordination evaluation (comprehensive)

Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is struggling with a decline in party approval ratings just two months before his inauguration. In a Gallup Korea survey, the Democratic Party's approval rating was 35%, the lowest since the launch of the Lee Jae-myung administration, and in a KSOI survey, the People Power Party was ahead for the first time within the margin of error. Within the party, divisions within the ruling party are cited as the cause, and Representative Kim is seeking a breakthrough by reducing messages and schedules and increasing on-site actions and communication within the party.

Homeland Security Management Agency, tired of controversy over group viewing of ‘Assassins’ in front of National Assembly inspector general

As it became known that the National Institute of Land Safety and Security had watched the movie 'Assassin(s)' as an additional service for retirement pension ahead of the National Assembly's inspection, controversy is spreading with accusations from some groups. The management center explained that there is no legal problem with the service, but it is an embarrassing situation as group tours of public institution executives and employees are exposed to the outside world.

National Intelligence Service "Intelligence cooperation in various fields with the U.S.... Information on North Korea provided by the U.S. will not decrease"

The National Intelligence Service completely denied reports that the United States was restricting the sharing of information on North Korea except for information related to North Korean missiles, and stated that intelligence cooperation between South Korea and the United States is active in various fields. The Ministry of Defense also expressed its position that the report was not true.
