<Anchor> According to the



Anti-Graft Act, agricultural, livestock, and marine products such as fruits, meat, and fish can be gifted within 100,000 won. Like last year, there was a demand to raise this limit to 200,000 won on Chuseok. The ruling party is in favor, while the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission is the opposite.



Reporter Jeong Da-eun covered it.



<Reporter> The



Noryangjin Fish Market is quiet with noticeably fewer visitors.



Delivery orders are the only way out.



Merchants are looking forward to Chuseok, when they can sell expensive seafood gift sets such as abalone and king crab.



[Jangjeongyeol / Fish Market Trader: Sending due to Corona to gift wrap because consumers are not out much much our merchants anybody may even natjyo to live the market economy -



in concentrated industries solicitation prohibition law, a maximum of 10, as installed last Thanksgiving and year We demand that the price of 10,000-won agricultural, livestock and fishery products be raised to 200,000 won this Chuseok.



This is because it was judged that it was of great help that the sales of agricultural food gifts increased by 30 billion and 90 billion won, respectively, compared to the previous year, during Chuseok last year, when the gift price was raised, and this year's Lunar New Year.



[Kang Jeong-hyeon / Vice-President of the Central Federation of Rural Leaders: As the 4th stage of distancing continues, school meals or eco-friendly agricultural products cannot be supplied, and agricultural products are often piled up in warehouses. Chuseok and Lunar New Year are important items in agricultural consumption.]



Lawmakers from the ruling party in the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee also requested the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission to raise the value of the gift in consideration of the difficult situation of the self-employed and shrinking consumption.



The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission expressed its objection in principle, saying that it could undermine the purpose of the Kim Young-ran Act, which prevents the provision of solicitation and money to public officials.



This was omitted from the Chuseok people's livelihood stabilization measures announced by the government on the 26th, but considering the remaining period until Chuseok, it seems that whether or not to increase the limit will be decided as early as next week.
