- In response to the issuance of Regulation of the Government No. 24 of 2018 on the Electronically Integrated Business Licensing Service (“Regulation 24/2018”), which first introduced the now-famous Online Single Submission (“OSS”) system, a number of concerns have been raised by various parties, including the Masyarakat Sipil Tolak Perizinan Ngawur coalition (“Public Coalition”), which is preparing to file for a judicial review of Regulation 24/2018 with the Supreme Court.
- The Public Coalition is also urging the Indonesian Government to amend Regulation 24/2018 on the basis that the new legal framework explicitly allows for businesses to commence operations without either the potential environmental impacts or the public rights of communities surrounding the relevant concession areas being taken into consideration.
- Raynaldo G. Sembiring, a representative of the Public Coalition, issued a statement recently explaining that the coalition’s main concern regarding Regulation 24/2018 is the fact that business licenses can now be secured by businesses prior to the issuance of any Environmental Impact Analysis (“AMDAL”). In his statement, Sembiring went on to assert that situations are thus likely to arise in which business operations end up having a detrimental impact upon the environment.
