JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia’s issue with the European Union’s anti-deforestation law is not about when it will be implemented, but the substance of the regulation, a senior minister told Reuters on Thursday.
Coordinating minister of the economy, Airlangga Hartarto, was responding to a European Commission proposal to delay the implementation of the deforestation law for 12 months. The anti-deforestation law is due to being implemented on Dec. 30.
