"Since the abolition of the provision of installing special equipment for online taxi-hailing in five equipment manufacturers, we can freely choose high-quality and inexpensive on-board equipment, which has really reduced operating costs." July 23, a car rental company in Shenyang The person in charge told reporters that after the abolishment of the document, all on-board special equipment that meets the relevant national standards can be used for the installation and use of online taxis in Shenyang. A fair competition environment will escort the healthy development of the industry.
In recent years, Shenyang City in Liaoning Province has taken the implementation of a fair competition review system as an important measure to optimize the business environment. The Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration actively played the role of the Joint Conference Office for Fair Competition Review, and continuously innovated methods in standardizing review operations, unblocking appeal channels, and introducing third-party evaluations, and in-depth investigations and clearing of various manifestations that affect the healthy development of market entities. We will vigorously promote the implementation of the fair competition review system, maintain fair competition through fair supervision, gradually improve the fair competition review system, and continue to create a market-oriented, legalized, and international business environment.
The review of fair competition itself must be fair. To this end, Shenyang City has introduced third-party assessments to improve the policy environment for fair competition review. Shenyang city and county governments and their subordinate departments strictly conduct fair competition reviews before issuing regulations, normative documents and other policy measures involving market entities' economic activities. After relevant policies and measures are issued, they will be disclosed to the public as required. During the epidemic, the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration established a fair competition review expert database to provide expert consultation for policy-making agencies to issue policy measures. At the same time, third-party evaluation agencies such as universities and research institutes have been introduced to conduct fair competition review on the introduction of normative documents involving market entities' economic activities in the name of the municipal government.
To achieve an effective review of fair competition requires the establishment of a systematic and standardized process. In June of this year, the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration compiled the "Fair Competition Review Guidance Manual", which systematically conducted a systematic review of the various businesses of fair competition review from four aspects: work templates, question answers, case analysis and institutional documents. specification. At the same time, the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration also carried out preaching in various departments, carried out fair competition review training and publicity at levels and industries, and improved the fair competition review system from the standard process.
An effective review mechanism also requires unobstructed appeal channels. During the epidemic, the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration took the lead in providing fair competition review consultation and complaint reporting services based on the 12315 complaint and reporting platform in Liaoning Province, promptly accepted complaints and reports involving fair competition review, and better served epidemic prevention and control and resumption of work and production . Up to now, the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration has received more than 10 consultations from various enterprises, promptly assisting enterprises in solving the problems of fair participation in market competition in the production and operation process, effectively solving problems for enterprises, and protecting the vital interests of market entities.
In addition, the Shenyang Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau also conducts a clean-up review of policies and measures that hinder a unified market environment and fair competition. In the process of sorting out the 600 policies and measures, the violations of the standards that affect the production and operation costs of “not to violate the preferential policies given to specific operators” and the violations of the market access and exit standards “must not set unreasonable discriminatory standards. Ten market competition documents that have the effect of eliminating and restricting competition in terms of entry and exit standards have proposed time-limited amendments or abolition proposals, solving the problem of breaking administrative monopoly from the source.
During the fair competition review of the “Shenyang City Elevator Safety Management Regulations” draft, it was found that Article 25 of the draft stipulated that “elevator inspection should be undertaken by special equipment comprehensive inspection agencies of the nature of public welfare institutions”, which restricts public welfare undertakings. The special equipment comprehensive inspection agency of the unit nature is engaged in the elevator inspection work and violates the fair competition review market access and exit standards, and promptly corrects it. This correction has played a good role in promoting the cultivation of competition awareness of government departments and effectively maintained the order environment of elevator inspection market competition.
As the impact of the epidemic gradually weakens, the vitality of various market entities will continue to be released. Shenyang will continue to use fair competition review to break down hidden barriers in the market operation process and solve the pain points and blockages faced by enterprises in resuming work and production. In the next step, Shenyang City will further break down various explicit and hidden barriers that affect the development of market entities in terms of improving review rules, improving working mechanisms, and strengthening organizational guarantees, and promote fair competition review work with higher quality and greater strength , To provide a more powerful system guarantee for creating a market-oriented, legalized and internationalized business environment.
