Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesias Vice President Jusuf Kalla has
stressed on gaining harmony and standardization of legal frameworks
among ASEAN countries, in particular to face the enactment of the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC).
AEC, with regards to the discretion of commodity and people services, will finally need this standardization in order to equate legality among ASEAN countries, Vice President Jusuf Kalla stated during a meeting with the ASEAN Ministers of Justice (ALAWMM) in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Thursday.
According to him, by enacting the AEC, which will take place in a few months, we need to prepare for legal harmony. If we find that the law is not standard, legal behavior might be different, he added.
The same interpretation is also important for all parties, who will invest in ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, he noted.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly also declared how important it is to promote cooperation in the ASEAN legal framework in order to increase the investment related to some e-commerce issues.
"Through this meeting, an agreement on the legal framework to achieve AEC, which remains for two months, will be reached" he said.
ALAWMM is a meeting of ministers, which was first announced by ASEAN delegates at a meeting of senior ASEAN legal officials in 1985.
Some neighboring state officials, who attended are the Minister of Justice for Malaysia, Hajah Nancy binti Shukri, the General Attorney of Singapore, Tan Siong Thye and the Minister of Justice from Thailand, Paiboon Koomchaya.
