EC holds seminar on exporting to EU

JAKARTA: The Delegation of the European Commission to Indonesia
organized a seminar on "Exporting to the European Union" at the
Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Jakarta as part of Europe Month 2005.

The one-day seminar, which was attended by mainly Indonesian
exporters, government officials and academicians, discussed the
prospects for Indonesian exports to the European Union (EU),
trade ties, the EU's General System of Preferences (GSP) and the
Helpdesk.

"Many exporters in Indonesia do not understand the EU's rules
like GSP. It's useful," Erwin Elias from the Indonesia Small
Business Exporters Consortium, one of the participants, told The
Jakarta Post on the sidelines of the seminar.

The EC Delegation's head of trade section Raffaele Quarto and
his colleagues Hermine Donceel and project manager Cecile Leroy
were the main speakers at the seminar. -- JP
