Analysis of E-Commerce Regulations in Indonesia Towards Trans Pacific Partnership Provisions

Abstract

President Joko Widodo stated that Indonesia intended to join the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). In international treaties, when a country becomes part of international cooperation, the country is obliged to adjust its national law. The TPP consists of 30 Chapters, where the regulation regarding e-commerce is specified in Chapter 14. If Indonesia becomes part of the TPP, then the domestic e-commerce regulations must be adjusted according to the provisions that apply to the TPP. By employing the normative legal research method, this analysis aims to analyze laws and regulations related to e-commerce in Indonesia and e-commerce provisions in the TPP and identify the gaps between them. The results of the analysis show that if Indonesia joins the TPP, the Indonesian government needs to make adjustments to several regulations, such as Law Number 11 of 2008 as amended by Law Number 19 of 2016; Law Number 7 of 2014) of Law Number 11 of 2020; Government Regulation Number 71 of 2019; and Government Regulation Number 80 of 2019.
