HCMC – Nine cheating filling stations in HCMC have lost their business licenses as the city government has waged a war against those retailing substandard fuels to customers.
The authorities have ordered these swindlers to hand back their fuel retail licenses; otherwise, they will be tackled in accordance with Government Decree 104 on fuel trading, effective early this year, said a source from the commerce division of the HCMC Department of Industry and Trade.
The source told the Daily that the department had written to the companies whose filling stations had been found to sell gasoline of lower-than-announced quality in an inspection of 11 petrol stations in the city.
The department plans to send the list of the cheating petrol stations to the city- and district-level market monitoring authorities to enforce checks and supervision.
If any of those fuel vendors deliberately continue business, authorities will take punitive measures against them as per the newly-issued Decree 104 which specifies that fines of VND20 million to VND30 million will be imposed on a fuel trader whose license is no longer valid, or already revoked by authorities.
