We are pleased to invite you to a joint webinar hosted by PowerShift and the Chambre du Travail de Vienne (AK), where we will present our new study:
No Sustainable Trade without Strong Labour Rights – A Critical Analysis of the Sustainability Chapter in the EU-Indonesia Agreement»
The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the EU and Indonesia is a broad trade agreement designed to strengthen economic ties between the European Union and Indonesia. It includes a dedicated sustainability chapter, which aims to integrate social, labour, and environmental standards, including adherence to key ILO conventions and commitments under the Paris Climate Agreement. While the agreement seeks to combine economic growth with social and environmental responsibility, the study identifies significant gaps in the enforceability and effectiveness of these sustainability provisions.
PowerShiftConseiller en politique commerciale internationale Alessa Hartmann Présenter les résultats de l'étude. Monika Feigl-Heihs from AK Vienne Will comment on the findings of the study from a trade union perspective.
Séminaire web focus:
- How binding and enforceable are the sustainability provisions in the EU-Indonesia CEPA, and what are the key risks and implementation gaps?
- How do labour law and human rights provisions relate to the situation in Indonesia, with a particular focus on mining, related industries and export-oriented agriculture?
- How concrete are the climate, environmental and forestry commitments?
- How effective are transparency and participation mechanisms (Domestic Advisory Groups – DAGs and Civil Society Forum – CSF)?
- Policy recommendations for a socially and ecologically sustainable trade policy
Inscription et participation: via Zoom ici. We look forward to your participation and to an engaging discussion.
