2026-12-09, 09:00–13:05

The German Embassy Jakarta

The Indonesia – European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (I-EU CEPA) aims to strengthen trade and investment relations between Indonesia and the European Union (EU) and facilitate market access for businesses on both sides. Following the conclusion of the negotiations, attention is increasingly turning towards understanding its provisions and their potential implications for trade and investment. In this context, the provisions on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) are particularly relevant for companies exporting to or operating in the Indonesian and EU markets.

GPQI is organising the “Business and Stakeholder Roundtables on the I-EU CEPA: Understanding Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Principles” in cooperation with the German Embassy in Indonesia to facilitate dialogue between the representatives of the Indonesian Government, the EU, the German Government, Quality Infrastructure institutions and German businesses.

Through a high-level panel discussion and a subsequent technical exchange between businesses and government stakeholders, the event will provide a platform to discuss the TBT provisions of the I-EU CEPA from both a policy and business perspective, clarify relevant regulatory issues and identify practical priorities for further dialogue and cooperation.

The Roundtables will be held at:

Date and Time : 09 December 2026, 09.30 - 13.05
Format : In-person
Venue : The German Embassy
    Jl. M.H. Thamrin No. 1, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Jakarta
