This paper tries to identify the possibility impacts of free flow of goods scheme on the use of anti­dumping in Indonesia.

Salah satu tujuan utama dari pembentukan Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) adalah menciptakan perdagangan yang bebas dari hambatan. Namun demikian, tidak semua negara dapat mengikuti gelombang perdagangan bebas tanpa menerapkan kebijakan perlindungan dalam negeri seperti ketentuan anti-dumping. Tulisan ini mencoba untuk mengidentifikasi kemungkinan efek dari peredaran barang yang bebas dalam (MEA) terhadap penggunaan kebijakan anti-dumping di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan analisis isi, tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa kemungkinan efek tersebut dapat menjadikan penggunaan kebijakan anti-dumping di Indonesia meningkat atau menurun, dan juga kemungkinan penghilangan kebijakan antidumping serta menggantikannya dengan kebijakan persaingan usaha.

In 2015, Indonesia and other ASEAN members have a commitment to establish a single market region, i.e. free flow of goods and service, termed ASEAN Economic Community (hereinafter ‘AEC’). This arrangement is contrary to Most Favored Nation (MFN) principle under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, (hereinafter ‘GATT’). This paper aims to address the said violation according to the WTO/GATT law by analyzing (1) the general obligations and exceptions under the WTO/GATT, (2) regionalism in general and its existence in Southeast Asia, and (3) the interpretation of WTO’s compromise to regionalism. Under the GATT, there is a general obligation for members to treat their trading partners equally and give the same benefits to other members. However, there is an exception to this principle under article XXIV of the GATT, which based on the notion that regional trade agreements are a building block for multilateral openness. Yet, before applying this exception to the case at hand, AEC’s form must be determined. AEC’ has a structure of Free-Trade Area (hereinafter ‘FTA’) with a single market adhere to it, which according to WTO’s database there is one in force at the moment, namely ASEAN Free Trade Area (hereinafter ‘AFTA’). AFTA is not the equivalent to AEC because it covers more than just goods. Thus, the answer to apply the exception to AEC is inconclusive because even though it fits normatively, it does not have the necessary legitimacy.

At the end of 2015 the Asean Economic Community agreement came into effect which means that there will be a single ASEAN market and production base that has five basic elements, namely a) free flow of goods, b) free flow of services services), c) free flow of investment, d) free flow of capital, and e) free flow of skilled labor. In addition to the five basic elements, the single market and production base must also contain two important components, namely priority integration sectors (PIS) and the development of the food, agriculture and forestry sectors. In terms of the free flow of labor, not all workers can compete, the ASEAN economic community limits only to skilled workers. Through the 2015 ASEAN economic community, there will be job opportunities throughout ASEAN. Job seekers can easily enter and exit from one country to another without any obstacles from the recipient country. However, the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint limits only to skilled labor and there is no discussion about unskilled labor. In an effort to support the transfer of skilled workers, all ASEAN member countries signed an MRA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement) on November 19, 2007 consisting of 8 MRAs, including engineering services, architectural services, nurse services ( nursing services), medical practitioners, dental practitioners, accountants services, surveying services, and tourism professionals. So it is feared that Indonesian workers do not compete with foreign workers

Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1999 tentang Larangan Praktik Monopoli dan Persaingan Usaha Tidak Sehat (“UU Nomor 5 Tahun 1999”) pada prinsipnya diundangkan dengan tujuan untuk menjamin kepastian kesempatan berusaha yang sama bagi setiap pelaku usaha di Indonesia serta dalam rangka mewujudkan iklim usaha yang kondusif melalui pengaturan persaingan usaha yang sehat. Namun demikian UU Nomor 5 Tahun 1999 tampaknya sudah tidak dapat mengakomodir perkembangan dunia persaingan usaha yang semakin mengglobal khususnya di kawasan regional ASEAN dengan lahirnya Asean Economic Community (AEC) pada akhir tahun 2015. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab 2 permasalahan: (1) mengapa perubahan terhadap UU Nomor 5 Tahun 1999 perlu segera dilakukan? dan (2) apakah Rancangan Undang-Undang Larangan Praktik Monopoli dan Persaingan Usaha Tidak Sehat (“RUU”) perlu disesuaikan dengan The ASEAN Regional Guidelines on Competition Policy 2010? Untuk menjawab permasalahan dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa perubahan terhadap UU Nomor 5 Tahun 1999 perlu segera dilakukan. Selain itu, RUU perlu disesuaikan dengan The ASEAN Regional Guidelines on Competition Policy 2010 karena meskipun saat ini masih berbentuk soft law dan belum mempunyai kekuatan mengikat bagi negara-negara anggota ASEAN tetapi Regional Guidelines merupakan langkah awal atau titik tolak menuju harmonisasi hukum persaingan usaha di wilayah regional ASEAN dan roadmap menuju harmonisasi  kebijakan persaingan  usaha  dan undang-undang persaingan usaha di wilayah regional ASEAN telah ditetapkan dengan jelas dalam The ASEAN Competition Action Plan 2025. Constitution of 1999 No. 5 concerning Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition in principle was enacted with the goal of ensuring the certainty of equal business opportunities for every business actor in Indonesia and to create a conducive business climate through the regulation of fair business competition. However, Constitution of 1999 No. 5 seems unable to accommodate the development of an increasingly globalized business competition, especially in the ASEAN region with the appearance of the Asean Economic Community (AEC) at the end of 2015. This study aims to address 2 issues: (1) the reason why Constitution of 1999 No. 5 needs to be revised and (2) whether or not the Bill of Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition ("Draft Law") be adjusted to the 2010 ASEAN Regional Guidelines on Competition Policy. To answer the questions in this study, the researcher used normative legal research method. Based on the result of the study, changes to Constitution of 1999 No. 5 needs to be done immediately. In addition, the aforementioned Bill needs to be adjusted to the 2010 ASEAN Regional Guidelines on Competition Policy because although being in the form of soft law and without any binding power for countries that are ASEAN members, the Regional Guidelines is the first step, a starting point towards harmonizing business competition law in the ASEAN region, and the roadmap towards harmonizing business competition policies and business competition laws in the ASEAN region are clearly defined in the 2025 ASEAN Competition Action Plan.
