In order to consolidate the achievements of the special Internet café campaign and further deepen Internet café management work, the following is notified:
I, Raising ideological understanding, adjusting and substantiating organizational leadership systems
Performing Internet café management work relates to the healthy growing up of minors, relates to the construction of a Socialist spiritual civilization, and relates to the building of Socialism and a harmonious society.

(文市发〔2005〕10号)
2004年2月，党中央、国务院决定在全国开展网吧等互联网上网服务营业场所(以下简称网吧)专项整治工作以来，在地方各级党委、政府的领导下，经过文化、工商、公安、电信管理、教育、财政、法制办、文明办、共青团等部门(单位)的共同努力，专项整治工作取得了明显成效，基本实现了预期目标。通过专项整治，网吧总量得到控制，结构得到调整，黑网吧、网吧接纳未成年人以及传播有害信息等违法经营行为得到治理，网吧管理长效机制开始逐步建立。但必须清醒地认识到，当前的整治成果还只是阶段性的，对这一成果还不能估计过高，稍有松懈，问题就有可能反弹。
党中央、国务院对网吧管理工作高度重视，对深化网吧管理工作、构建网吧管理长效机制做出了重要指示。为巩固网吧专项整治成果，进一步深化网吧管理工作，现通知如下：
一、提高思想认识，调整充实组织领导体系
做好网吧管理工作事关未成年人的健康成长，事关社会主义精神文明建设，事关社会主义和谐社会的构建。各地要以“三个代表”重要思想为指导，从立党为公、执政为民的高度，自觉落实科学发展观，充分认识深化网吧管理工作的重要性、复杂性、艰巨性和长期性，把深化网吧管理工作作为维护广大人民群众切身利益、保护未成年人健康成长的一件大事，切实抓紧抓好。
全国网吧专项整治工作协调小组已调整为全国网吧管理工作协调小组，各级网吧专项整治工作协调(领导)小组或联席会议相应调整为网吧管理工作协调(领导)小组或联席会议，做到思想不松、机构不撤、规格不变。要深入贯彻《国务院办公厅转发文化部等部门关于开展网吧等互联网上网服务营业场所专项整治意见的通知》(国办发〔2004〕19号)和文化部等部门《关于进一步深化网吧专项整治工作的意见》(文市发〔2004〕38号)精神，继续保持原有的工作体系和工作机制，充实和加强文化行政执法队伍，努力构建分工负责与齐抓共管、条块结合与以块为主、日常巡查与技术监管、宏观调控与市场机制、行业自律与社会监督相结合的网吧管理长效机制。
网吧管理工作是政府履行市场监管和社会管理职能的重要方面，各级财政部门要保证网吧管理所需经费，要将网吧管理所必需的日常经费、计算机监管体系建设经费纳入各级财政预算。
二、落实属地管理制度
做好网吧管理工作是地方各级人民政府的重要职责，要实行条块结合、以块为主，明确基层政权在网吧管理中的工作责任，充分调动城市区、街道、社区(居委会)和农村县、乡镇、村委会的积极性，保证工作措施落实到基层。要将网吧等文化市场管理纳入各级政府落实科学发展观与建设和谐社会的工作体系，纳入文明城市、文明社区、文明村镇、文明行业、文明单位考核评价体系，纳入社会治安综合治理考核评价体系。

各地要建立健全责任追究制，对出现问题长期得不到解决，造成严重后果的，要追究有关负责人的责任。全国网吧管理工作协调小组将加强对各地工作的检查督导，上级要加强对下级工作的督促检查，一级抓一级，层层抓落实。
三、加强行政执法，完善日常管理
严格执法是网吧监管全部工作的核心和关键。要充实执法主体，健全管理制度，严格执法行为，实行责任追究。文化、工商、公安、电信管理等部门之间要加强信息通报，规范审批、查处、取缔等各个环节的工作流程。
文化行政部门对网吧接纳未成年人行为要坚持严管重罚。各级文化行政部门要制定本地区网吧日常检查频度最低标准，包括对每个网吧检查的频度和每周(月)对辖区网吧检查的频度的规定。要建立现场检查记录制度，执法人员要严格按照规定，每次检查结束后均需制作现场检查记录，检查者与被检查者均需在记录上签字，确保日常检查责任落实。对累计2次接纳未成年人进入或一次接纳3名以上(含3名)未成年人的网吧，要责令停业整顿，时间不得少于15天；对累计3次接纳未成年人进入、一次接纳8名以上(含8名)未成年人或在规定营业时间以外接纳未成年人的，要坚决吊销其《网络文化经营许可证》，切断其互联网接入服务。省、自治区、直辖市文化行政部门可以对网吧违法经营行为的罚款额度制定量化的指导性意见。

教育行政部门、学校、共青团组织要根据未成年人的生理、心理特点，开展多种形式的宣传教育活动，引导未成年人增强自我保护意识，加强自我管理。要强化学校、家庭的教育监护责任，特别是要强化家长作为未成年人监护“第一责任人”的责任意识。教育行政部门、学校要指导教师、未成年人的监护人有效防止、矫治未成年人的不良行为。要提高精神卫生意识，对网络成瘾的未成年人，要积极进行心理矫治。对违反《未成年人保护法》、《预防未成年人犯罪法》，不履行监护职责的未成年人的监护人，由公安机关依法予以训诫，责令其严加管教。
要充分发掘网络资源对未成年人开放，抓紧落实学校计算机网络资源对学生开放，并建立健全完善的管理制度，确保学生安全上网。要加强对中小学生网络行为规范的教育，培养良好的上网习惯，引导其文明上网。积极探索建设非营利性的互联网上网场所向未成年人开放。各地可将作为违法物品没收的网吧的计算机设备，划拨给贫困地区的中小学校作为教学设备使用，具体办法由省、自治区、直辖市财政、工商、教育部门制定。
请各地认真总结网吧管理工作经验，在认真执行《互联网上网服务营业场所管理条例》的同时，对执行中存在的问题进行全面分析、研究；有关立法、税收等问题的意见建议，请及时向国务院法制办公室、文化部、财政部等部门反映和请示。
