The Commission: KPPU
• The Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition (KPPU) was established in 2000 with the authority mandated by the Law No. 5/1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition (“the Law”);
• The KPPU is consisted of 11 (eleven) Commissioners that work in collegial manner that is assisted by a Secretariat. A chairperson is elected annually amongst Commissioners.
• It has two major tasks, namely to supervise and enforce the competition law, and to create sound competition policy through policy recommendation in order to guide public interest and national efficiency for people prosperity;
• Until January 2011, It decided 184 decisions and submitted 91 policy recommendations
5
Working with other Government Institutions
• In term of competition policy, the Commission has issued 91
(Ninety one) policy recommendations to the Government on several aspects in strategic sectors in Indonesia. Fifty out of said advices is accommodated by central Government or regional administration.
• Furthermore, The Commission has been involved with the formulation of several draft laws including the Law on micro-small-medium enterprises, minerals and coal, and free trade zone.
• A latest development is as part of policy maker’s acceptance to
competition policy, law, and institution, the Commission has now even been mandated with new authority under Law no. 20/2008 concerning Partnership to supervise partnership agreements between micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) and large enterprises. This indeed will take several adjustments within the Commission to fully optimize this obligation.
6
Cooperation with other law enforcer
• Cooperation with other law enforcers is beneficial to support competition law enforcement in Indonesia.
• Acknowledging this, the Commission made a formal cooperation arrangement in 2010 with the Indonesia Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (INTRACT) to assist the Commission in providing evidences of financial transaction suspected for collusion/cartel handled by the Commission
• Cooperation with the National Police also pursues to fully implement the competition law, especially to overcome the lack of authority given upon the Commission.
• In October 2010, the Chief of Police and the Chairman of KPPU are signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) concerning cooperation and coordination in competition law enforcement. This surely marks complete and systematic competition enforcement in Indonesia which involving three main elements, the competition agency, the judiciary, and the Police.

When To Start Competition Assessment on Gov’t Policy?
In assessing competition impact of any policy, KPPU will look certain type of Government Policy which emerge as: – Type of Policy which giving more privelege to dominant business
player by creating an entry barrier for the new entrant. By having this situation, the dominant player can abuse the market more easy.
– Type of Policy which facilitate business player to do anticompetitive
behaviour which infringe fair competition principles as regulated by The Law No. 5. By having this situation, business player can manage price fixing the among them which can be considered as cartel practices by the law no. 5.
– Type Policy which allow Government to replace market mechanism process in selecting competent business player in the market.

IMPACT OF POLICY CHANGE TOWARD
COMPETITION PRINCIPLE
16
Impact of the Competition Law Enforcement
• Extensive endeavors in competition enforcement have resulted in a
positive impact in two different ways. • The first one is the financial aspect for the state through potential state
income from fines and compensations impose by the Commission. Fines and compensations have accounted for up to total US$ 207 million (IDR 1.87 trillion) additional revenue.
• The second approach is consumer gain through direct and indirect impact resulting from KPPU’s decision. One of our successful examples was from telecommunication sector. Cartel behavior in text messaging service cancelled by the Commission had resulted in preventing potential consumer loss or creating income savings approximately for US$ 222 million (IDR 2 trillion) as result of reduce SMS tariff (40%-60%) after the decision.

• Some Policy Change done by Government in response to harmonize the policy with principle of fair competition policy have been benefited public in many ways.
• For Example
– Sector Airline Industry
– Local Government Regulation on Poultry House
18
Airline Industry
• Before 2001, INACA as an Association Airline facilitate all player to do fix price conduct. The Conduct is backed up by Ministerial Decree which give the Association an authority to set up the price. In July 2001, KPPU issued policy recommendation to Ministry of Communication and Transportation.
• The Policy Recommendation advised Government to abolished authority of Association in setting up the (floor) tariff as stated in Ministerial Decree No. 25 Year 1997.
• In Response to the Policy Recommendation, Goverment
Revised the Regulation and also deregulate the sector to enhance more fair competition in arline industry.

Poultry house policy
• The Jakarta local government issued a Province Regulation No.4/2007 which determined a poultry house where the poultry trader from outside of Jakarta should place their product to be examined before distribute to Jakarta area. This caused higher transportation cost and less competitive level for traders that coming from many areas of outside Jakarta that used to place their product in their nearest poultry house in Jakarta
• In March 2010, The Commission had handed in a policy recommendation to restore past condition. In response, in December 2010, The Jakarta local government formally accepted the recommendation and would allow past condition as long as its fulfilled technical and sanitary standard
• Nowadays, the poultry trader may place and examine their product in many poultry house under Jakarta Government supervision
