Second, the existence of the SPS Agreement allows Indonesia to implement regulations that better protect its citizens from health risks that may arise from the import of certain products, especially food. These rules must still be in line with the SPS Agreement. Abstrak Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini, apakah dengan adanya SPS Agreement justru menjadi hambatan dalam perdagangan?
