The activity was also attended by the Principal Expert Trade Security Investigation Analyst, Syamsul Bahri Siregar, S.E., M.SI, Head of the Industry, Trade, Energy and Mineral Resources Office, North Sumatra Province, Mulyadi Simatupang, S.Pi., M.Si, and dialog participants consisting of Business Associations, Academics, and S1, S2, and S3 Students of Law Faculty of Law USU.

Dean of FH USU, Dr. Mahmul Siregar, S.H., M.Hum, in his remarks, said, “Indeed, we understand that environmental issues and health issues are issues that are justified in the multilateral trading system, but we do not know that maybe it is also a trade barrier that could occur, and it might cause us to experience a shock in foreign exchange earnings from the sector concerned. The government has made legal efforts to overcome various legal issues the palm oil commodity faces. Still, we can also see within ourselves that we need to make many adjustments to the way we produce, the way we produce palm oil and others, because we face a huge challenge, especially with the deforestation policy and various green economy policies that almost all of Europe will definitely implement. Therefore, we have to rethink and discuss how we advocate for this product, which we really need and is one of our country's biggest foreign exchange earning products,” the Dean said.
The purpose of this Trade Advocacy Dialogue activity, among others, is to provide advocacy in increasing the understanding of relevant stakeholders regarding the form, commitment, and policy of export barriers carried out by partner countries, as well as to capture input and gather information on export barriers currently faced by business actors of palm oil products and their derivative products, as well as adjustment steps taken by business actors in dealing with export barrier policies in partner countries.
