The original title: "a box of fruit half a box of paper" market supervision to reflect
days ago, Chengdu residents reported that in the fruit wholesale market to buy fruit, most of the whole sale of fruit boxes, are stuffed with different weight paper. Among them, the most exaggerated fruit varieties are mangoes - a box of 25 pounds of mangoes, merchants stuffed into the paper there are more than 9 pounds. Merchants said that the paper inside they are called "skin weight", earn is "skin weight", "this is our rule, 8 to 10 catties is the general rule of the market, individual merchants may be as much as 12 catties." (According to the Beijing Morning Post, May 19)
Merchants to pursue profits as a fundamentally normal behavior belonging to the market, no matter how businessmen pursue profit maximization, need to be based on good faith, fair trade as a guideline, otherwise it is an infringement of consumer rights and interests, should be punished by the regulatory authorities. However, in Chengdu some fruit wholesale market, a 30 catties or so of apple mangoes, the "skin weight" of the princess mango are mostly more than 8 catties, accounting for about 30% of the overall weight, there is a mango called daffodils because of more perishable, "skin weight" accounted for a higher proportion.
"a box of fruit and half a carton of paper" has left consumers in the eye, but for wholesale businesses it is called the general rule of the market. Such a shortage of two malicious infringement of consumer rights and interests can be changed into "clear rules", or "rules" "practices", for consumers is seriously unfair. Undeniably, fruit from the tree, to long-distance transport, and then from the wholesaler's shop to the hands of consumers, need a process, anti-corrosion packaging is also a matter of course, but now every fruit has been wrapped in a foaming plastic mesh, this plastic net is used to protect mangoes from crushing, anti-desposed, and then on the outside of the thick paper not only belongs to excessive packaging, but also so packaging also suddenly staged "Loyang paper expensive", and finally to buy a single consumer.
Is like a box of advertised 30 catties of fruit, consumers are also in accordance with the price of 30 catties to pay the price, but the real real goods only 20 catties, the total price spread down, the price per catty quickly climbed. "Half-box paper" in the market is a violation of the principle of fair trading in the market, the shortage of two short phenomenon. And similar lack of catty short two, fraudulent consumer behavior, not only in Chengdu fruit wholesale market exists, the market throughout the country is also outside. At a time when the powers and responsibilities are becoming clearer and the power structure is already perfect, "a box of fruit and half a box of paper" is really a breach of the fair trade order in the market, which must arouse the reflection of regulators.
China's Measures for Penalties for Violations of Consumer Rights and Interests stipulate that the intentional use of unqualified measuring devices or the destruction of the accuracy of measuring devices in the provision of goods or services shall be subject to administrative penalties;
"a box of fruit and half a box of paper" behind our lack of market regulation and absence. Legal gui in line, the law can only be strictly enforced to show its value and authority, hope that the market regulatory authorities on the one hand open the channels for complaints, convenient for consumers to report complaints, at the same time must be short of two acts to be severely investigated, so that illegal merchants pay the necessary price; (The Woods)
