South Korea & RFID

I have been keeping in touch with the South Korea RFID progress for the past five (5) months of my research. Today, by accident, I have stumbled upon the translated version of their Articles / Provisions in relation to RFID Privacy Protection Guideline (Republic of Korea). It is interesting to note that the guideline's coverage is quite concise. If one is to dissect the Articles, I wonder whether it achieves the adequacy protection terms under the Directive 95/46/EC. In the interim, it may not reach the adequacy level of protection, arguendo, taking into account the detailed analysis of compliance checklist by the Directive.
