The State Administration for Market Regulation will strengthen supervision at the source of production, consolidate the main responsibilities of gas pump manufacturers and gas station operators, and urge them to strictly implement the type approval and anti-cheating requirements for measuring instruments. Cooperate with relevant departments to explore and establish a mechanism for upgrading the software and hardware of gas pumps, and promote the update and iteration of anti-cheating technical standards. Resolutely cut off the black and gray industrial chain that knowingly participates in cheating equipment modification and software cracking, and fortify the entire chain from production, sales to use, increase the cost of illegal activities and reduce the motivation for cheating. At the same time, cross-department data sharing application pilots will be carried out through big data, Internet of Things and other technical means, and data sharing with public security, taxation, commerce and other departments will be deepened.
In addition, it guides various localities to establish a normalized mechanism for reporting clues and assisting in investigation and cooperation of cross-regional cases, and at the same time establishing rules and regulations to solve the problem of "qualitative difficulty" in grassroots law enforcement. In view of the pain points faced by grass-roots law enforcement such as difficulty in obtaining evidence and characterization, we should speed up the promulgation of fuel pump cheating law enforcement guidelines and electronic data evidence collection standards, unify national law enforcement standards and discretionary standards, and allow grassroots to have "rules and regulations to follow" when handling such high-tech law enforcement cases.
The Ministry of Public Security will rely on the "Clean Network" special operation to continue to intensify its crackdown on illegal and criminal activities involving gas pump cheating. It will keep a close eye on key links such as motherboard production, technology development, agency sales, installation and commissioning, and illegal use. It will strengthen precise crackdowns and dig deep into the gangs behind the scenes to ensure a thorough investigation.
In the next step, the State Administration of Taxation will rely on the multi-department normalized data sharing mechanism to obtain data on hazardous chemicals road transportation in batches, continue to improve and improve the risk indicator model based on taxation big data, and conduct regular scanning "physical examinations" at gas stations to accurately identify and respond to risks in a timely manner, so that criminals and violations of laws and regulations "have no way to hide."
