JAKARTA: The plan limits the consumption of fuel oil (BBM) subsidy will be futile without a preceded by a reshuffle of the Presidential and Presidential Regulation No.9/2006 No.55/2005 regulating the sectors eligible for subsidized fuel.

Committee members Downstream Regulatory Body for Oil and Gas (BPH) Migas Jugi Prajogio said today the government is trying hard to control the consumption of subsidized fuel, which, until the first quarter of 2010 have exceeded the quota of 2.5% to 8.25% for gasoline and diesel fuel .

These efforts, he said, reflected by several measures already taken, the distribution of fuel in a closed form and also restrict the types of discourse worthy vehicles using subsidized fuel.

"However, all these steps useless because if not supported changes in regulation No.55/2005 and Presidential Regulation No.9/2006. All of the program will not work, "he said today.

Presidential Regulation No.55/2005 Jugi assess which states are entitled to all modes of transportation fuel subsidy should be reviewed because the restrictions are inconsistent with efforts to fuel consumption itself.

Presidential Regulation No.9/2006 Likewise allowing ships DWT size above 30 is still worth getting subsidized fuel for justice to be repaired. In addition, Jugi said, the government also needs to review the distribution of subsidized fuel to transport mining industry, steel, and cement.

When it was done, he said, the government can get the subsidy saving trillions of rupiah from the sectors that are still feasible to get subsidies in such regulation.

"Based on the survey we did to mine, we could save trillions of rupiah subsidy. However, if there is no change in regulation, we also as the governing body of the difficulty to perform the functions of supervision, "he said. (Fh) By: Rudi Ariffianto (Bisnis.com)
