The Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) is advocating for a joint task force to expedite the ratification of the Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU-CEPA). Apindo believes a dedicated task force, involving relevant government ministries and stakeholders, is crucial to ensure the agreement’s timely implementation. The association highlights the potential of IEU-CEPA to boost Indonesian exports, attract foreign investment, and create employment opportunities. Concerns exist regarding potential domestic adjustments needed to meet EU standards and competition. Apindo emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts to address these challenges and maximize the benefits of the trade agreement. They are seeking government commitment to swiftly address any remaining obstacles to ratification, ensuring Indonesia can capitalize on the economic advantages offered by the deal. The task force would focus on streamlining processes and fostering collaboration between all parties involved.
