It will also not enforce regulations on the use of plastic straws at cafes and plastic bags at convenience stores for the time being.
정부는 또 카페에서 플라스틱 빨대 사용, 편의점에서 비닐봉지 사용을 규제하는 정책 역시 적용하지 않을 예정이다.

for the time being = for the present = for a while = for now = for some while = for the meanwhile = for the meantime 당분간은, 얼마간

 

The decision focuses on withdrawing the regulation prohibiting the use of disposable paper cups in food service businesses such as restaurants.
이번 결정은 식당 등 식품접객업에서 시행해온 일회용 종이컵 사용금지 규제를 철회하는 것을 목표로 한다.

 

focus on = center on = aim at = aim to = concentrate on ~에 초점을 맞추다, ~을 목표로 하다

withdraw = cancel = lift = scrap =  defease = rescind = abolish = recant = nullify = negate = abrogate = do away with = repeal = invalidate 폐지하다, 철회하다, 취소하다

prohibit = ban = forbid = sanction = outlaw = interdict = bar = prevent 금지하다, 금하다, 막다

 

The ministry explained that the decision took into consideration the position of small business owners who face the burdens of high prices and interest rates.
환경부는 원가 상승과 고금리 부담을 안는 소상공인의 입장을 고려한 결정이라고 설명했다.

the self-employed 자영업자

entrepreneur = businessman = enterpriser = industrialist 기업가, 사업가

interest rate = lending rate = rate of interest = benchmark rate = base rate = standard interest rate 금리, 이율

 

However, the move may face a backlash for its retreat from the policy of reducing the use of disposable items, which has been a serious national issue. Some argue that it may be a "vote-catching policy" in anticipation of the upcoming general elections in April next year.
그러나 중대한 국가적 사안이었던 일회용품 사용 줄이기 정책의 후퇴인 만큼 이번 결정이 반발을 가져올 수도 있다. 일부는 이번 조치가 다가오는 내년 4월 총선에 대비한 "선심성 정책"이 아니냐고 주장했다.

 

face a backlash = face an outcry = face headwind 반발을 직면하다, 역풍을 맞다

retreat  = cancel = lift = scrap =  defease = rescind = abolish = recant = withdraw = nullify = negate = abrogate = do away with = repeal 폐지하다, 철회하다, 취소하다
