So, the results obtained can also be recommended to the Ministry of Trade, to help implement these regulations well.
"We will first conduct a focus group discussion to be able to assist the Ministry of Trade, so that the policies and their implementation can also run well," Bakrie said on Monday (Jan 13).
Not only in terms of import mechanisms, Bakrie ensured that the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry will also coordinate with the Ministry of Manpower to handle the accompanying employment aspects.
Especially, related to efforts to increase the productivity of workers in a number of industrial sectors, including the manufacturing and textile industries which are affected by these regulations.

"We (Kadin) also do it (coordination) with the Ministry of Manpower, to ensure that whatever the goal is, it must increase productivity and capacity," Bakrie remarked.
He also ensured that within the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry itself, a number of Deputy Chairmen in related fields, such as trade and labor, have already started working and reporting the interim results of the mapping carried out on the issue.
"So a working team has been formed at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and it has already started running. Earlier, the Deputy Chairman of Labor at Kadin also reported on the matter," Bakrie stated.
He added, "So, I think the same goes for trade matters, this is a very important thing. Especially from our exports and imports which must be carefully considered."
