firm action: After reviews by relevant ministries, it must be said that the relations of trust between Japan and South Korea have been significantly harmed, METI added, according to The Japan Times. The South Korean government reacted promptly, saying Seoul will take firm action against the decision. The new rules, which take effect July 4, come after South Korean courts ordered Japanese firms to compensate people forced into wartime labor, an issue Japan says was resolved when the countries resumed diplomatic relations decades ago. ; The export control system is built based on international relations of trust, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said in announcing the move. An official of the South Korean Trade, Industry and Energy Ministry said the restrictions announced by Japan violate international law. This means exporters will now have to apply for permission for each batch they want to export to South Korea, a process that takes around 90 days each time, local media reported. The new restrictions affect fluorinated polyimide, resist and hydrogen fluoride, as well as the transfer of manufacturing technologies, removing them from a list that effectively allowed expedited exports.
