Indonesia Concerned Over EU Deforestation Law Rules, Not Implementation Timeframe

PALM OIL - JAKARTA. Indonesia on Thursday said a proposed European Commission delay in the rollout of its anti-deforestation law was a good step but a more pressing issue was implementation regulations rather than timeframe.

Coordinating minister of the economy, Airlangga Hartarto, told Reuters the European Union should cancel its country benchmarking on deforestation, where the commission will classify nations as high, standard or low risk in terms of compliance.
