According to the notice, the main tasks include the following aspects:

(1) Continue to correct illegal charges.

Local civil affairs departments should carry out annual inspection reports and other work. The deployment of trade associations and chambers of commerce is strictly in accordance with the requirements of the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Further Standardizing the Charge Work of Trade Associations and Chambers of Commerce (No.21of the State Council), such as "no compulsory membership and charge", "no illegal charge by taking advantage of statutory duties and matters entrusted or authorized by administrative organs", "no illegal charge by appraisal", "no illegal charge by professional qualification" and "no service charge or repeated charge".

(3) Continue to help enterprises reduce their burdens and get rid of difficulties.

Local civil affairs departments should guide and encourage trade associations and chambers of commerce to voluntarily reduce or waive membership fees and other fees for member enterprises with operational difficulties, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, and actively reduce the fees for fees with more surplus, so as to further reduce the burden on enterprises and stimulate the vitality of market players. Support and encourage trade associations and chambers of commerce to give full play to the role of bridges and ties, accurately and effectively reflect the demands of the industry, and help member enterprises to strive for targeted assistance policies and measures such as tax relief, deferred social security fees, deferred subsidies for water and electricity expenses, loan extension, housing rent relief, employment security support, and financial support; Consciously fulfill social responsibilities, and promote financial institutions, natural monopoly enterprises, platform enterprises and other member units that have a dominant position in this field to take the initiative to make reasonable profits to other market players, so as to create a good industry ecology of harmonious development; Continuously improve the ability of service enterprises, focus on creating superior brand service projects, and effectively improve the sense of acquisition and satisfaction of enterprises.

The problem of unreasonable charges found by trade associations and chambers of commerce should be classified and disposed of.

Those who fall within the scope of non-governmental supervision should be punished comprehensively through administrative punishment, credit punishment, public exposure, annual inspection and demotion, and further increase the punishment, stop the wind of illegal charges, and always maintain a high-pressure situation of illegal charges against trade associations and chambers of commerce.
