Law on cooperatives<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
One of the three main pillars of our economy after state-owned
\ncompanies and private enterprises is cooperatives. All three are
\nbased on the principle of togetherness.<\/p>\n
It seems that the two sectors -- the government and private
\nsectors -- have evolved to a stage of stability, while
\ncooperatives have yet to reach steadfastness. What makes this
\ndifference?<\/p>\n
In fact, the state company PT. Pusri (fertilizer company) has
\nworked in cooperation with Village Cooperatives Unit (KUD) in
\nchanneling fertilizer. But the cooperation is confined only to
\nmarketing the products, not in production and shares ownership.<\/p>\n
Cooperation between cooperatives and the other sectors is
\nstill based on emotion rather than on the principles of
\npartnership required by Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. In
\nother words, the steadfastly developed sector should help the
\nless-developed partner, until ideally the two can evolve together
\non equal footing.<\/p>\n
There must be a common interpretation of what is meant by
\neconomic togetherness. Therefore, a software instrument should be
\nestablished, for example, by introducing a law on cooperation
\nbetween the three sectors mentioned earlier to ensure that the
\nsystem is concretely implemented. The private sector still bases
\nits philosophy on colonial law products: the Civil Law and Trade
\nLaw.<\/p>\n
The new national law, produced by the government in
\nconjunction with the People's Representatives, will guarantee
\ninclusion of the people's aspiration in the cooperation.<\/p>\n
