By Godang Sitompul

The Directorate General of Consumer Protection and Trade Order (PKTN) at the Ministry of Trade and downstream regulator BPH Migas signed on Tuesday a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to supervise the use of metering equipment in fuel distribution.

The measure aims to protect consumers from being abused by oil fuel distributors, PKTN?s Director General Widodo said.

?We have often been informed of complaints over the quantity of oil fuels received (by consumers). Thereby, the government needs to implement a supervision system, which is effective and efficient, to detect any misuse of metering tools by irresponsible people,? Widodo said.
