New customs rules
Yesterday, European Commission announced the adoption of a regulation revising rules of origin for products imported under the generalised system of preferences (GSP).
This regulation relaxes and simplifies rules and procedures for developing countries wishing to access the EU's preferential trade arrangements, while ensuring the necessary controls are in place to prevent fraud.
Algirdas Ĺ emeta, Commissioner for Taxation, Customs, Anti-Fraud and Audit said that by updating the EU’s rules of origin, they will help to ensure that developing countries really benefit from the trade preferences on offer to them," and that the world’s poorest don’t lose out due to unnecessary complexities in our systems," he added.
Rules of origin are used to determine whether imported goods really originate in countries covered by the EU's preferential trade arrangements, thereby making them eligible for a preferential customs tariff. The current rules of origin, which date back to the 1970s, have been criticised for being too complex, too stringent and out-of-date. The new rules of origin will apply from 1 January 2011. (NOM)

State Minister for State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) Mustafa Abubakar said the ministry at the moment was still waiting for the response from the Asahan Authority to the letter that the Ministry had sent recently.
"To submit the proposal to take over Inalum to be operated by SOE, we still have to wait for the response from the Asahan Authority," he informed yesterday.
According to Mustafa, PLN probably would only operate Asahan hydro-fired power plant, while the aluminum plant would be operated by Antam and the security firms that helped funding the takeover.
Among some state-owned securities firms proposing to help funding Inalum are PT Danareksa Sekuritas, PT Bahana Securities, and the Assets Management Company (PPA).
The government controls a 41.12% stake in Inalum, while the rest is owned by the consortium of Japanese companies under Nippon Asahan Aluminium (NAA).
NAA has submitted a proposal asking for extension for the contract on Inalum, which will expire in 2013. The bidding proposals from SOEs are scheduled to be enclosed by October 2010.
However, Mustafa said the Ministry had not submitted the proposal. Negotiation cancelled In the meantime, the preliminary negotiation over Inalum with Japan, scheduled initially for today, will be cancelled since the presidential decree on the negotiating team has not yet been issued.
On the other hand, the team from the Japanese Ministry of Industry and International Trade is touted to have already arrived in Indonesia for the negotiation.
"I have asked the negotiation to be delayed until the Presidential Decree (Keppres) is issued," said Minister of Industry M. S. Hidayat. One Bisnis source confided there were two Keppres drafts at the Cabinet Secretariat.
The first draft contains the proposal from the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs team and the second one contains the Ministry of Industry's proposal to the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, the copy of which was sent to the Cabinet Secretariat.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Hatta Rajasa informed Bisnis via SMS that the negotiating team was proposed to be chaired by two cabinet ministers, namely the Minister of Industry and the State Minister for SOEs.
In the meantime, the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs would serve as the steering chairperson. Yesterday, there was rumor circulating that the negotiating team would be directly chaired by Vice President Boediono.
However, the rumor could not yet be confirmed. Previously, Chairperson of the Asahan Authority Effendy Sirait said based on the letter of the State Minister for SOEs dated October 29, the Asahan Authority had sent a letter to Inalum asserting the government's decision to take over 100% shares in Inalum.
On the other hand, he continued, the NAA had responded the letter and treated it as Indonesia's official position.
"The NAA considers the content of the letter the government's stance. They still hope for rooms to negotiate."
Article 27 clause 10 of the master agreement reads that the NAA has a right to negotiate period extension for the smelter operation since three years prior to the contract expiry date.
The request for the extension has to be followed by new significant investments to bolster innovation and expand smelter.
To support Indonesia's position, he inserted, the government through the technical team assembled by the Ministry of Industry was preparing several options to know whether the negotiation was worth continuing or whether the master agreement should be terminated. (wiw)
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Darwin Zahedy Saleh revealed he had approved to allocate 72% of gas from Donggi-Senoro field or 300 BBTUD to be exported and the rest 28% or 115 BBTUD to cater to domestic needs.
However, the ministry through the technical team at the moment was still completing the evaluation and negotiation of the prices for each buyer.
"I don't remember the details about the prices. However, we certainly hope for the best prices, which will be negotiated," he said yesterday.
Darwin explained the 72% figure for export had already put into account the need of domestic gas buyers.
"Eleven percent will go to State Electricity Company PLN [Ltd] and seven percent will go to fertilizer plants. It means that we have showed concrete action to show the spirit of allocating gas to cater to domestic needs. It is no longer a discourse."
Economic factor On the other hand, he explained, participation from investors was also needed to develop domestic gas.
However, he added, investors surely would put into account the economies-of-scale of gas fields in deciding whether it would be feasible for them to make investments or not.
"For certain fields, such as Donggi-Senoro, they will be uneconomical and unattractive for investors to develop if the entire gas is only allocated to cater to domestic needs, according to the technical team of the Directorate General of Oil and Gas. Therefore, we need to mix it with export."
Besides, Darwin added, the decision on the allocation of gas from Donggi-Senoro had been in line with the result of the meeting with Vice President Boediono some times ago.
"So, I decide to agree with the technical recommendation, namely to allocate 30% of the production to cater to domestic needs and 70% to be exported. That's my decision based on the result of the meeting with the Vice President," told Darwin.
Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Evita Herawati Legowo disclosed the government indeed had finished discussing the allocation of gas from Donggi-Senoro.
"However, the sale prices still need further discussion. We will use some formula."
Previously, Head of the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency R. Priyono sent his recommendation regarding to which gas from Donggi-Senoro should be allocated.
Based on the recommendation, the gas should go to PT PLN (60 BBTUD), PT Panca Amara Utama (PAU, 55 BBTUD), and PT Donggi Senoro LNG (DS LNG, 300 BBTUD).
The recommendation is to follow-up the letter of Minister of Energy Darwin Zahedy Saleh 4186/ 13/MEM.M/2010/2010 on Donggi-Senoro gas development project.
The letter reads that the government through the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources decides to allocate, if possible, the entire gas from Donggi Senoro to cater to domestic needs or, based on the technical and economic aspects, allocate 25%-30% to cater to domestic needs. (wiw)
