On April 13, a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic was held in Shanghai.

Peng Wenhao, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision, said that recently, the Shanghai market supervision department has strengthened the price supervision of important livelihood commodities and epidemic prevention supplies, and quickly investigated and handled a number of price violation cases.

As of April 11, the city has dispatched a total of 30,419 price enforcement officers, and issued 38,903 warning letters to various market players.

  Peng Wenhao said that in the future, the Shanghai Municipal Market Supervision Bureau will still focus its supervision on the price issues of people's livelihood commodities, epidemic prevention supplies and other fields that everyone is concerned about.

  First, strengthen price supervision in key areas.

Our bureau will strengthen the supervision of the platform, requiring the Shanghai network operation platform to effectively implement the platform responsibility, strengthen the management of the business behavior of the merchants on the platform, and investigate the illegal activities on the platform.

  Secondly, multi-channel mining price case clues.

In the early stage, we strengthened information collection through online social platforms. In response to more than 40 public opinions reported by citizens, including "high-priced potatoes", "99 yuan steamed buns" and "78 yuan cabbage", we quickly organized and carried out verifications, which were basically completed within 24 hours.

Next, we will continue to monitor closely, strengthen the inspection and inspection of relevant units, urge merchants not to disrupt the market price order, and require management parties such as vegetable markets and platforms to cooperate in stabilizing prices.

For illegal acts such as price gouging found in the investigation, if one is found, it will be investigated and punished strictly and quickly.

  At present, the Municipal Commerce Commission, Post Office, Development and Reform Commission and our bureau will jointly take measures to further regulate the issue of the apparent rise in the price of express delivery fees and errand fees that everyone is concerned about.

  Third, seriously handle public complaints and reports on price issues.

On the one hand, coordinate the handling in a timely manner to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers; on the other hand, organize the market supervision departments at all levels to carefully check the clues, and promptly file a case for investigation and punishment of the operators' price violations found during the check.
