The General Administration of Market Supervision: In the first half of this year, intermediary agencies were found to be charged 185 million yuan for alleged violations of regulations.
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 16th (Reporter Zhao Wenjun) In the special operation "governance-related charges and reduce the burden on enterprises" carried out by the State Administration of Market Supervision in the first half of this year, the inspection found that intermediary agencies were suspected of illegally charging 185 million yuan. Deal with laws and regulations.
This is what the reporter learned from the third quarterly press conference of the State Administration for Market Regulation on the 16th.
Ji Xiaoling, deputy director of the Price Supervision and Competition Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation, said that intermediary agencies charge illegal fees, which has increased the burden on enterprises and the public and affected the optimization of the business environment.
Beginning in mid-April this year, the State Administration of Market Supervision has selected key inspection teams from 15 provinces to carry out cross-provincial cross inspections. The main problems found in the inspections are:
Use the e-government platform to charge illegal fees.
The e-government platform is a window for the government to provide public services to the society. It should be constructed by government departments at a fee and open to enterprises, individuals and the society free of charge.
However, some intermediary agencies use the opportunity of the operation and maintenance of the government affairs platform to charge technical maintenance fees and service fees in violation of regulations.
Conduct intermediary services related to administrative examination and approval of the department in violation of regulations.
Some public institutions, social organizations in charge, and enterprises run by some administrative agencies, without being disconnected from the competent authorities, illegally carry out intermediary services related to the administrative examination and approval of the agency.
Exceeding government pricing and government-guided pricing for violations of regulations.
Some intermediary charges are subject to government pricing and government-guided price management. However, some intermediary agencies rely on industry advantages to exceed the standard illegal charges set by the government when service costs rise.
Pass on the expenses that should be borne by government departments.
In accordance with national policies, intermediary service agencies are entrusted to provide technical services in the process of administrative examination and approval. The administrative agency shall bear the expenses, but some intermediary agencies violate the regulations and transfer the expenses to the enterprise.
Ji Xiaoling said that the State Administration of Market Supervision will deploy localities to continue to increase the investigation and punishment of illegal fees, publicly expose typical cases, form a strong deterrent to violations, and effectively reduce the burden on enterprises and the public.
