"Back in Indonesia, TikTok Shop Accused of Violating Regulations"

The Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, Teten Masduki, revealed allegations of violations by TikTok against the Minister of Trade Regulation (Permendag) Number 31 of 2023. This decision came after TikTok Shop resumed operations following a collaboration with Tokopedia during Harbolnas, December 12, 2023, which was deemed to violate the applicable regulations.

"The Minister of Trade has clearly regulated that there is a separation between social media and e-commerce. So we are implementing multichannel. Now the question is, has Permendag 31 been fulfilled?"

"Teten Masduki at the Press Conference Reflekso 2023 & Outlook 2024 at the Smesco Indonesia Building on Thursday (21\/12\/2023)."

In response to that information, Teten stated that his side is currently discussing with the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) regarding this alleged violation. At this stage, the Tiktok platform has not clearly separated between its e-commerce application and its social media platform, in accordance with the applicable regulations.

"Today we see that TikTok has taken over Tokopedia, with an investment of IDR 22 trillion. Has the regulation Permendag 31 regarding separation been fulfilled? We are currently discussing this with the Minister of Trade, and we see there have been no changes. There are indications of violations of Permendag 31."

The translation of "Pemerintah Harus Tegas." to English is "The government must be firm."

Teten emphasized that in this context, the government needs to demonstrate its consistency by following the established rules. This aims to form a strong foundation in combating monopoly practices in the digital market. "Government consistency is necessary because this is an important foundation to prevent monopoly practices in the realm of the digital market," said Teten Masduki.

The Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (KemenKop UKM) is awaiting clarification from TikTok.

"Fikri Satari, Special Staff of the Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, stated that the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises has coordinated with the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Communication and Information regarding the Buy Local campaign that will start on December 12, 2023, coinciding with Harbolnas. Although TikTok is collaborating with Tokopedia, Fikri believes that transactions should preferably be made on Tokopedia because only Tokopedia has the PPMSE license."

"They are still selling on their social media, which should not be allowed, as regulations prohibit it, since social media is a communication platform while TikTok conducts transactions. If we talk about the collaboration platform TikTok, Tokopedia, it should be the platform (buying and selling transactions) on Tokopedia because Tokopedia already has the PPMSE license."

"Fikri, Special Staff for the Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises."

Fikri emphasized that in the collaboration between TikTok and Tokopedia, transactions should take place on Tokopedia, which already has PPMSE permission. In addition, he also stated that the violations indicated originated from TikTok, not from Tokopedia. The Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises is now awaiting an official clarification from TikTok.

"Previously, Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan stated that there would be a trial period of 3 to 4 months in the cooperation between TikTok and Tokopedia. However, Teten currently claims that the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (KemenKop UKM) and the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) have agreed on the same view. According to him, TikTok does not need to undergo a trial period of 4 months because Minister of Trade Regulation Number 31 of 2023 does not regulate the transition period."
