Autonomy worries entrepreneurs<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta-based entrepreneurs threaten that they
\nwill relocate their businesses if any of the city
\nadministration's policies associated with implementation of
\nregional autonomy are not conducive and cause increased costs to
\ntheir businesses.<\/p>\n
\"If all the city regulations are not conducive for the
\nentrepreneurs to run their businesses, they may relocate their
\nbusinesses to other regions which offer competitive benefits such
\nas lower regional minimum wage (UMR) for workers, easier
\ndocuments processing and lower levies and taxes,\" Chairman of the
\nIndonesian Textile Association (API) Lili Asudiredja said as
\nquoted by Antara on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He said that local regulations should go along with the ones
\nissued by the central government, so that the entrepreneurs can
\nsustain their business.<\/p>\n
He also asked the administration not to issue any regulations
\nthat would increase production costs.<\/p>\n
\"We therefore ask the local authority not to issue regulations
\nwhich will overlap with those of the central government's or of
\nother provinces's, because such overlapping regulations will only
\ncomplicate business,\" he said.<\/p>\n
He cited fees charged for migrant workers at both the
\nprovincial and the mayoralty or regency level as example. (04)<\/p>",
