Following up on the results of the examination by the Ministry of Trade through the Directorate General of Consumer Protection and Commercial Order (PKTN) related to Supervision of Heavyness in Wrapped Conditions (BDKT), Pertamina Patra Niaga immediately carried out control of SPBE operations, including by giving a warning letter to 12 SPBEs, which in the examination it was suspected that there were gas cylinders containing gas under volume provisions.
"The provision of sanctions in the form of a warning letter is intended so that SPBE entrepreneurs immediately follow up on the findings of the examination results if there are no changes, they will be given more severe sanctions and do not rule out the possibility of revocation of business licenses if the error continues," said Pertamina Regional Marketing Director Patra Niaga Mars Ega Legowo quoted Monday 27 May.
The same thing was conveyed by the Director General of PKTN, Moga Simatupang. He stated that the sanctions given were in the form of a written warning first and could develop to the revocation of business licenses.
"The sanctions are in the form of administrative sanctions. We will give a written warning first. Later if it is not followed up, the sanctions can develop, resulting in the revocation of business licensing," said Moga.
Sanctions for violations are regulated in Government Regulation Number 29 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of the Trade Sector, Article 166 paragraphs (1) and (2). Sanctions that can be imposed on business actors are administrative sanctions in stages until the revocation of business licensing.
