In May 17th, the official website of the General Administration of Market Supervision announced that, in view of the recent surge in the prices of anti epidemic materials such as melted spraying cloth, the market supervision administration of Jiangsu organized a task force to investigate the illegal behaviors of middlemen and manufacturers in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, and resolutely cut off the illegal chain of the price of anti epidemic materials such as melted spraying cloth. Market supervision departments at all levels will further increase the supervision over the price of anti epidemic materials such as meltblown cloth, and severely punish the offenders who drive up prices and make epidemic money during the epidemic prevention and control.

In late April, the General Administration of market supervision investigated and dealt with a series of illegal price cases involving intermediaries and manufacturers, such as melted spray cloth, and other epidemic prevention materials. After investigation, Shanghai middleman Ma Mou obtains the melt blown cloth, the spunbond nonwoven fabric and the high price reselling by the shell company from the Shanghai melt spray cloth production enterprise at low price, accumulates the profit more than 600 yuan.

The market supervision bureau said that the above cases were complicated in violation of laws. The parties involved were both middlemen and manufacturers, both enterprises and individuals. The products involved were melt blown fabrics, spunbonded nonwoven fabrics and polypropylene modified materials. The parties are concealed by illegal means, and they usually do not sign contracts or invoices between the upstream and downstream parties involved in the hype, and some middlemen collude with the production staff inside and outside the company.

It is reported that the task force set up 9 typical cases in the short term. Among them, a non-woven company in Jiangmen, Guangdong, fined 3270 yuan for the parties. 4 cases of suspected crimes have been transferred to public security organs.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the price of anti epidemic materials has been repeatedly banned. Among them, melted cloth and respirator are the main products. Gao Tongwu, director of the criminal affairs department of Beijing Ying Ke law firm, told the Beijing Commercial Daily reporter that in the case of the outbreak of the national epidemic situation and the shortage of epidemic prevention supplies, some bad businesses and individuals took advantage of the urgent need for epidemic prevention and control and epidemic prevention supplies to make profits. On the one hand, in order to avoid supervision, middlemen and participating in collusion between price collusion and internal price enterprises, take no sign contracts, do not invoke, even take the means of shell companies, making national regulatory authorities difficult to obtain evidence, so it is difficult to lock in effective evidence to impose penalties. On the other hand, there is oversight in national supervision, failing to make timely supervision according to relevant laws and regulations.

Earlier, the market supervision administration has repeatedly cracked down on the price of anti epidemic materials to raise prices, and said, "we must fight against the outflow of the price of such products as blowing up the price of melted cloth". Special investigations should be deployed to organize special investigations. Zang Tiewei, a spokesman for the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said in a media interview that he should deal with such cases promptly and severely. In order to disrupt market order, we should give full consideration to its special harm and punish severely according to law.

Gao Tongwu said that the illegal behavior of the qualitative operators (from production to retail) to "drive up prices" is mainly based on the relevant provisions of the "administrative penalties for price violations" and other related laws and regulations. During the epidemic prevention and control period, it violated the state regulations on market operation and price management, hoarding and hoarding, raising the price of protective clothing, medicine, other protective materials, medicines or other items related to people's livelihood, such as masks, goggles, protective clothing, disinfectants and other items needed for epidemic prevention and control, making profiteering profits, large amounts of illegal gains or other serious circumstances and seriously disrupting market order. According to criminal law 200th The provisions of the twenty-five fourth items are convicted and punished for the crime of illegal business operation.

Regarding the regulation of the price behavior of raising the price of epidemic prevention materials at the present stage, Gao Tong Wu suggested that a comprehensive supervision and control platform should be set up, including the network platform (Taobao, Tmall, Jingdong, WeChat, etc.), and special complaints channels should be set up. The supervision department under the offline entities shops (Shang Chao, drugstores, etc.) set up special management personnel, and found one case to look after in the end and never tolerate it.
