Abstract

On November 15, 2020, the RCEP was signed by the Ministers of Economy and Trade of the 15 RCEP member countries and witnessed by each Head of State and Government. The fifteen RCEP member countries are 10 ASEAN member countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Cambodia, and Brunei Darussalam), and 5 (five) ASEAN FTA Dialogue Partners (People’s Republic of Indonesia). China, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand). This research is entitled “Analysis of the Impact of Service Liberalization in Indonesia on the Regional Compherensive Economic Partnership (RCEP),” and is reviewed through a normative legal research method that uses a legal approach and a conceptual approach. The problem formulations of this research are: (1) How does GATS influence the liberalization of services at RCEP according to WTO legal principles? and (2) how does the RCEP agreement have an impact on Indonesia’s services trade balance in ASEAN? From the formulation of the first problem, it can be concluded that the liberalization of RCEP services must be in line with GATS and WTO legal principles. Meanwhile, regarding the second formulation of the problem, it can be concluded that Indonesia is still experiencing a deficit in the services trade balance with the European Union and that RCEP is expected to change the constellation of the Indonesian services trade balance for the better in the future.
