LEGAL HARMONIZATION IN ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITIES (LOOKING FOR THE BEST LEGAL HARMONIZATION MODEL)

ASEAN countries need to be encouraged to make responsive, effective, efficient, non-discriminatory, and pro-competition regulations that are adjusted AEC Blueprint 2025. This means that each ASEAN country needs to harmonize regulations so that the rules that apply in each national territory do not conflict with each other and in line with AEC Blueprint 2025. There is no clear regulation system in force in ASEAN, nor is the legal harmonization mechanism and binding power of the AEC. Questions that should be asked, is the legal basis for the implementation of AEC Blueprint 2025 deliberately based on international agreements only (intergovernmental, soft law) and not upgraded to legal force (primacy principles, hard law)? The most important thing is that there is a shared awareness to build the ASEAN region's economy more productive, advanced and shared prosperity. The commitment is not enough just to use soft law approach, but must be followed by hard law approach (primacy principles). ASEAN leaders should hold talks and seek agreement to implement the principle of supranational (primacy principles) that the implementation of the AEC Blueprint 2025 be adhered to by all member states.

AEC) agreed upon by ASEAN member countries on 31 December 2015 aims to create ASEAN economic integration.The agreement will be implemented following the AEC Blueprint 2025, signed by ASEAN Leaders at the 27th ASEAN Summit, November 22, 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.AEC is based on four pillars, namely: single market and unity of production base, competitive, innovative and dynamic economic region, equitable economic growth and ASEAN that is integrated in the global economy. 1 The guarantee for the implementation of this matter has also been agreed that each ASEAN country may not withdraw the agreed commitment (no back loading of commitments) and the flexibility of some things that should be asked at the beginning of negotiations and must be approved together. 2ASEAN member countries are 1 ASEAN Secretariat, https://asean.org/aseaneconomic-community/aec-monitoring/,26/09/2018. 2 Sjamsul Arifin, Rizal A. Djaafara and Aida S. Budiman (ed), ASEAN Economic Community 2015, required to ratify AEC Blueprint 2025 means that each ASEAN country needs to harmonize regulations so that the rules that apply in each national territory do not conflict with each other and in line with AEC Blueprint 2025.There is no clear regulation system in force in ASEAN, nor is the legal harmonization mechanism and binding power of the AEC.Looks still very soft, given the freedom to ASEAN member countries to harmonize the regulations according to the needs of the level of economic development.This condition causes the implementation of AEC Blueprint 2025 to be slower.
