Hangzhou court online judicial appraisal completed the process of "middle obstruction" in 30 days.

  For a long time, judicial expertise is time-consuming, laborious and costly, which has been criticized by both parties and judges.

  In order to do judicial expertise, the parties often need to go back and forth to the court and supplement the materials many times. The information of the appraisal institution is opaque, and the appraisal results often cause doubts, which has become a major pain point affecting the judicial credibility. For judges, it takes a long time to wait for expert opinions, and the expert results are not accepted, which restricts the improvement of the quality and efficiency of handling cases. Some judges said frankly, "Can you try not to do it without making an appraisal?" The quality and effectiveness of judicial expertise has become a "middle obstacle" in the process of handling cases.

  The reporter of "Legal Daily" learned today from the Intermediate People’s Court of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province that Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court actively explored the management of judicial expertise institutions and the reform of judicial expertise processes, which improved the efficiency of judicial expertise, optimized the quality of judicial expertise, and solved the double troubles of judges and parties.

  Since July 20th this year, Hangzhou has promoted the online judicial expertise platform in 15 courts in the city. At present, there are 206 professional institutions registered on the online judicial authentication platform of Hangzhou court, 996 accounts entrusted by the judicial authentication are registered online, 2,141 cases of authentication and evaluation are submitted, and 1,260 cases are closed. The average time for closing the case has been shortened from more than two months offline to 30 days.

  Yu Lili is a front-line post judge in Yuhang District People’s Court. The promotion of online platform has brought a lot of convenience to her work. She lamented: "In the past, when a judge wanted to make an appraisal, he had to hand over the appraisal materials to the department in charge of external entrustment, and then this department entrusted the appraisal institution. Because of insufficient constraints and insufficient motivation of the appraisal institution, it was hard to say when the appraisal result would come back. The case was limited by the trial limit, and the judge was dragged into such a hurry!"

  It is understood that now, relying on the online judicial appraisal platform, the clerk will scan and upload the appraisal materials and submit them to the platform, and the appraisal can be initiated on the same day. Moreover, you can also set a time limit for the appraisal institutions to reply to the results. The appraisal of assets is 15 working days, the appraisal of forensic medicine, physical evidence and audio-visual materials is 30 working days, and the appraisal of project cost and quality is 60 working days, all of which are very clear. For example, in forensic medicine, the identification of disability grade, delayed construction period, nursing period and nutrition period can be completed in 15 working days, which greatly improves the identification efficiency.

  The start of Hangzhou online forensic platform can be traced back to February 2017. In order to further solve the problems existing in judicial expertise and practice the reform goal of "running at most once", under the guidance of Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, Yuhang Court took the lead in using the mature "online data integration" processing platform in the field of road traffic disputes to carry out online judicial expertise; In October 2017, the Higher People’s Court of Zhejiang Province approved and determined Yuhang Court as the pilot court for online appraisal reform of civil cases in the province; On July 20 this year, this work was officially launched in Hangzhou. At present, the online appraisal platform has basically covered most types of judicial appraisal in Hangzhou courts through the trial and promotion of the first, second and third phases. Through the online platform, the data of the court, the appraisal institution and the parties can be shared, which is convenient for tracking the appraisal process in time.

  Zhuang Gencai, vice president of Yuhang Court, told the reporter: "After each appraisal is completed, the judge can score the appraisal institution, which is similar to online shopping ‘ Praise ’ , which will directly affect the ‘ Take orders ’ Situation, so they all attach great importance to it. You can get feedback in time without running errands many times. The promotion of the online appraisal platform has greatly improved the quality and efficiency of appraisal and the satisfaction of the parties. "

  Recently, Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court reported the assessment of the city’s judicial appraisal and evaluation institutions. Among them, 14 institutions were suspended for one year or six months according to relevant management regulations.

  The results of this notification were sent to 15 grass-roots courts and judicial technical professional institutions in Hangzhou, and copied to various industry authorities or industry associations. Soon, Fang Yanyun, director of the Judicial Appraisal Division of Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, felt the "shock" caused by the notification results: "In the past, we urged the appraisal institutions to get the results quickly, but now their phone calls come to you. Concerned about the impact of the assessment results on the reputation of the organization, and even related to the continued survival of the organization; There is a commitment to rectify the work style, standardize the performance of duties and improve work efficiency. From passive to active, the attitude of professional institutions has changed significantly. " 

  It is not an easy task to assess the professional institutions of judicial technology. It takes several months from brewing to publishing the assessment results. The assessment takes the form of self-assessment, entrusted court assessment, summary spot check by the Intermediate People’s Court, holding a forum, listening to the opinions of business departments, visiting relevant competent departments or industry associations, etc., with the aim of evaluating the level of appraisal institutions as comprehensively and truly as possible.

  According to reports, this assessment is mainly aimed at professional institutions such as real estate, land, asset evaluation, project cost, accounting audit, product quality and three types of appraisal that have entered the information platform of Zhejiang courts in recent years, focusing on the professional institutions’ practice ability, work efficiency, operational norms, service quality, text norms and charging standards. There is one of the assessment methods: "Those who refuse to accept the entrustment of the court without justifiable reasons, damage or lose the appraisal materials, fail to perform the obligation of appearing in court, and issue false appraisal opinions, which have seriously affected the trial execution, shall be removed from the list."

  "The assessment method clarifies the exit situation, purifies the team of judicial authentication institutions, and allows truly qualified, efficient and promising institutions to undertake more entrustment, which is also an inevitable choice for survival of the fittest." Fang Yanyun said.

  Ronaldo Lin, vice president of Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, said that the combination of daily assessment and regular assessment, online assessment and offline assessment of appraisal institutions requires professional institutions to raise awareness and be more proactive, and grass-roots courts should establish and improve the daily management ledger system.

  "In the next step, Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court will strengthen communication with various industry authorities or industry associations, realize information exchange and information sharing, and jointly explore online appraisal institutions, appraisers’ access standards, elimination and exit mechanisms, and the accountability system for judicial appraisal errors, and jointly urge professional institutions to standardize their professional practices, improve the trial level of judicial appraisal services, and give full play to the positive role of judicial appraisal guarantee trial activities." Ronaldo Lin said.

Eating like this can lose weight! The National Health and Health Commission issued a document to teach you by hand →

  Recently, the National Health and Wellness Commission issued the "Guidelines for Adults, Children and Adolescents", which pointed out that the obesity rate of residents aged 18 and above in China is on the rise, and the obesity rate of children and adolescents is rising rapidly. How to judge whether you are obese? How to achieve a reasonable diet and scientific exercise? Let’s watch it together

  The obesity rate of residents aged 18 and above in China is 16.4%.

  According to the guide, the obesity rate of residents aged 18 and above in China is 16.4%, the obesity rate of children under 6 is 3.6%, and the obesity rate of children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 is 7.9%. In 1982, the obesity rate of children and adolescents aged 7-17 in China was only 0.2%.

  The obesity rate of urban children and adolescents is high, and the obesity rate of rural children and adolescents is growing rapidly. Some studies predict that by 2030, the overweight and obesity rate of adults in China will reach 65.3%.

Eating like this can lose weight! The National Health and Health Commission issued a document to teach you by hand →

  The guide points out that scientific weight loss should follow the principle of gradual progress, the ideal weight loss goal should be to reduce the current weight by 5% ~ 10% within 6 months, and the reasonable weight loss speed should be 2 ~ 4 kg per month.

  How to judge whether you are obese?

  There is a clear measure of obesity in medicine-body mass index.

  BMI (Body Mass Index) is the number obtained by dividing the weight (kg) by the square of the height (m). For example, a woman weighs 60 kilograms, is 1.60 meters tall and has a body mass index of about 23.44.

  Zhang Zhongtao, vice president of Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that the normal range of BMI is 18 to 24, and 24 to 28 is overweight. If BMI is greater than 28, you should actively intervene.

  How do obese people eat? These misunderstandings should be avoided.

  The guidelines suggest that the diet of adult obese patients

  We should comprehensively balance and diversify, and limit the total energy intake;

  Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber;

  Strictly control the intake of fat, salt, sugar and alcohol.

  Obese children and adolescents

  You should be full of food;

  Increase the intake of fish, vegetables, soybeans and their products;

  The energy provided by snacks does not exceed 10% of the total daily energy;

  Try not to eat after 9 pm.

  In the process of losing weight, it is suggested that the dietary energy of obese children and adolescents should be reduced by about 20% on the basis of normal requirements.

  Myth 1: You can lose weight just by exercising.

  80% of weight loss depends on diet and 20% on exercise. Experts remind that you can’t lose weight just by "holding your legs", but the key is to "keep your mouth shut". For example, a person of average height jogs on a treadmill for 30 minutes at a constant speed, and consumes only the equivalent of drinking a can of coke.

  Myth 2: Take a vegetarian diet or not eat staple food to lose weight.

  Eating vegetarian food or not eating staple food can make people lose weight in a short time, but it is difficult to last and will bring side effects.

  For example, not eating staple food for a long time can easily lead to hypoglycemia, intestinal dysfunction and other symptoms. If you only eat vegetarian food without meat, you are prone to iron deficiency anemia, muscle attenuation and other symptoms. In addition, the carbohydrate content of some vegetables is not much lower than that of rice, such as potatoes, taro, yam and lotus root, which may make you fatter and fatter.

  Smegliptide, a "slimming drug", is abused.

  In China, smeagoutide is currently a prescription drug for controlling blood sugar and losing weight in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, in real life, there is over-indication abuse. Some people without diabetes use this medicine to lose weight. Its principle is to increase insulin secretion, delay gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce people’s demand for food.

Eating like this can lose weight! The National Health and Health Commission issued a document to teach you by hand →

  According to the doctor, smegliptide is a prescription drug. Before injection, you should go to a professional weight loss center or hospital for relevant examination and evaluation, and adjust the dose reasonably under the guidance of a professional doctor, so as to obtain better benefits with less side effects.

  Doctors warned that the use of smeagoutide may lead to hypoglycemia, acute pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction and other adverse reactions, in addition, it may also cause emotional problems such as depression.

  Last year, China implemented weight loss metabolic surgery.

  Over 35,000 cases

  According to incomplete statistics, more than 35,000 cases of weight-loss metabolic surgery were performed in China last year. According to the doctor, not everyone is suitable for weight loss surgery, and surgery should be considered only if the effects of exercise, diet and drug intervention are not satisfactory. In addition, bariatric surgery only solves the health threat caused by obesity, and the follow-up depends on good diet and exercise habits.

Do a good job in clean utilization of coal and increase the capacity of new energy consumption

CCTV News:Energy is the foundation of economic development. This year’s Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that to correctly understand and grasp peak carbon dioxide emissions’s carbon neutrality, the gradual withdrawal of traditional energy sources should be based on the safe and reliable substitution of new energy sources. How to balance the relationship between traditional energy and new energy? Let’s look at the interpretation of experts.

Lin Weibin, Director of Energy Policy Research Center of China Energy Research Association:Low-carbon transformation should vigorously develop renewable energy. Between these new development forces and the original traditional technical forces, there will be a natural, trade-off alternative transformation process, instead of "tearing down the old house before the new house is built", it is necessary to realize the organic unity of economic development and carbon reduction, rather than mutual exclusion.

The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to base on the basic national conditions of coal, do a good job in clean and efficient utilization of coal, increase the capacity of new energy consumption, and promote the optimal combination of coal and new energy.

Xu Chunming, Dean of Carbon Neutralization and Future Technology College of China Shiyou University:Actively develop new energy sources and pay more attention to the clean, efficient and high-quality utilization of kerosene gas fossil energy.

Du Zhongming, Dean of Electric Power Planning and Design Institute:In the future, the orientation of coal-fired power will be gradually adjusted in the "14th Five-Year Plan" to give more play to the security support function of power grid and power system.

The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to make scientific assessment, add renewable energy and energy consumption of raw materials not to be included in the total energy consumption control, create conditions to realize the transformation from "double control" of energy consumption to "double control" of total carbon emission and intensity as soon as possible, and accelerate the formation of incentive and restraint mechanisms to reduce pollution and carbon to prevent simple layer-by-layer decomposition. We should pay close attention to tackling key problems with green and low-carbon technologies.

Du Zhongming, Dean of Electric Power Planning and Design Institute:Scientific and technological innovation is the key to achieve the goal of "double carbon". In the fields of new energy-friendly power generation technology, high-proportion new energy transmission technology, new energy storage technology, intelligent regulation technology and low-carbon technology of traditional power supply, it is urgent to break through a number of key technologies, realize engineering application as soon as possible, and effectively increase the proportion of new energy generation.

Research report of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: The blockchain industrial chain in China has taken initial shape.

  BEIJING, Beijing, May 21 (Reporter Liu Yuying) The "White Paper on Blockchain Industry in China in 2018" released by the Information Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China on the 20th said that the blockchain industry in China is in a high-speed development stage and the industrial chain has taken shape.

  According to the White Paper, by the end of March 2018, the number of blockchain companies with blockchain business as their main business in China had reached 456, from upstream hardware manufacturing, infrastructure and security services to downstream industrial technology application services, to industry investment and financing, media and talent services to ensure industrial development. Companies in various fields have been basically complete, coordinated and orderly, and jointly promoted the industry to move forward.

  Judging from the geographical distribution of the company, the geographical distribution is relatively concentrated and the industrial agglomeration effect is obvious. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Zhejiang are still concentrated places for blockchain entrepreneurship, and blockchain enterprises in the four provinces account for over 80%. In addition, China’s top ten provinces with blockchain entrepreneurial activity include Jiangsu, Sichuan, Fujian, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou.

  Judging from the distribution of blockchain industry segments, by the end of March 2018, the number of industry application service companies in blockchain field was the largest, among which the number of companies mainly serving the financial industry reached 86, mainly serving the physical industry. The number of service companies reached 109. In addition, there are more than 40 related companies in blockchain solutions, underlying platforms, blockchain media and community fields.

  Judging from the distribution of financing rounds, the blockchain industry is still in a very early stage. At present, nearly 90% of investment events are concentrated in the early stage (A round and before), another 9% are strategic investments, and the investment events in B round and after account for only 2%. The development of blockchain industry is in the ascendant.

  The "White Paper" looks forward to the trend of China’s blockchain industry: First, blockchain has become the forefront of global technology development and opened up a new track for international competition; Second, the blockchain field has become a new hot spot for innovation and entrepreneurship, and technology integration will expand new application space; Third, the blockchain will be widely deployed in the real economy in the next three years and become an important support for the construction of digital China; Fourth, the blockchain creates a new platform economy and opens a new era of sharing economy; Fifth, the blockchain accelerates the process of "trusted digitalization" and drives finance to "get rid of virtual reality" to serve the real economy; Sixth, the blockchain supervision and standard system will be further improved, and the industrial development foundation will continue to be solid.

Push the "trade-in" industry to respond positively to the gradual recovery of the home market prosperity

  According to the public data of the Ministry of Commerce, in April this year, the national building materials and home furnishing prosperity index (BHI) was 117.65, and the sales of building materials and home furnishing stores above designated size exceeded 110 billion yuan, and the cumulative sales from January to April exceeded 420 billion yuan.

  Although the above data decreased slightly compared with the same period of last year, with the introduction of "trade-in" policies in various places since April, and the favorable factors such as the overlapping market entering the traditional peak season, the household sector continued to release consumption vitality, the industry prosperity rebounded, and the "Xiaoyangchun" market in the home building materials market also continued.

  The market potential of "trade-in" is huge.

  At present, China’s real estate market is still in the adjustment stage, but since the beginning of this year, favorable policies have been implemented in various places, and industry insiders expect that the industry will accelerate its stabilization. As the downstream industry of the real estate market, the consumer demand of the national building materials and home furnishing market continued to be released from January to April. Although the sales data decreased slightly year-on-year, thanks to the help of the policy side, the overall situation was still improving.

  In March this year, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods (hereinafter referred to as the Plan) to promote economic transformation and upgrading and improve the quality of life of urban and rural residents.

  The "Proposal" pointed out that for the trade-in of household appliances, it is necessary to improve the convenience as the core and smooth the consumption chain of household appliances; In order to promote the replacement of home improvement consumer goods, it is required to support residents to carry out local renovation of old houses, kitchens and bathrooms, continue to promote the aging renovation of homes, and actively cultivate new consumption such as smart homes. Promote home improvement model rooms to enter shopping malls, communities and platforms, encourage enterprises to build online model rooms, and provide affordable products and services to meet diversified consumer needs.

  "The introduction of the trade-in policy is a major positive for the home furnishing industry." Qin Zhanxue, president of China Building Materials Circulation Association, pointed out that the relevant data of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development showed that by the end of 2022, the total number of urban and rural housing construction in China had exceeded 600 million, with huge market potential. "As houses enter the aging cycle one after another, the demand for renovation and functional upgrading will gradually increase. It is expected that the industry will usher in a new round of trade-in climax in the future."

  According to incomplete statistics, in the past year, the total output value of China’s home improvement industry was about 2.77 trillion yuan, of which the demand for local decoration exceeded 35%. "It is conservatively estimated that the replacement scale of the home and home improvement market will exceed one trillion yuan." Hu Yanan, secretary-general of China Building Decoration Association’s Residential Decoration and Parts Industry Branch, said that according to the association’s rough calculation, there are more than 200 million houses in urban housing that are over 20 years old, and the demand for renovation and transformation at the consumer end is strong.

  Grasp the "renewal" cycle and accelerate the layout of enterprises

  The promulgation of the "Program" has given industry support and guidance at the policy level and brought new development opportunities at the development level. Many home associations and head home stores have acted quickly, actively responding to the policy call and helping to release the potential of home consumption by issuing trade-in coupons, promoting in communities, and granting subsidies.

  At the end of April, at the annual meeting of the housing industry in 2023-2024, the Residential Decoration and Parts Industry Branch of China Building Decoration Association, in conjunction with the head home improvement enterprises and parts and materials enterprises all over the country, officially launched the "Home Improvement Trade-in Action". "I hope that through this action, a group of’ home improvement practitioners’ will be cultivated, and typical cases of enterprises will be launched to create a more assured, worry-free and secure consumption environment." According to the relevant person in charge of China National Equipment Association, this action aims to promote the effective implementation of "trade-in" related programs in the home improvement and home furnishing industries, and call on the whole industry to respond to the replacement of home improvement consumer goods, and encourage member units to actively carry out local upgrading and renovation of old houses, kitchens and bathrooms, and aging renovation of homes.

  On May 6th, in response to the "Consumption Promotion Year" policy of the Ministry of Commerce, and vigorously promoting the trade-in of the household industry, China Building Materials Circulation Association also launched the "Third National Green Smart Home Consumption Festival", which empowered enterprises by implementing the relevant action plan of "trade-in" and issuing exchange vouchers for trade-in.

  Focus on home stores. According to our understanding, the heads including Red Star Macalline and Easyhome made relevant implementation plans as early as the "trade-in" scheme was put forward.

  Among them, Beijing Red Star Macalline has invested more than 10 million yuan since March to promote trade-in, benefit consumers, and help people rejuvenate. It is reported that in order to make more consumers enjoy the trade-in benefits easily, Beijing Red Star Macalline not only joined hands with 17 brand enterprises such as Xilinmen, Wrigley Sanitary Ware and Boloni to participate in the trade-in activities of green smart consumer goods, but also distributed subsidies of about 8 million yuan in different forms through online and offline channels.

  The relevant person in charge of Red Star Macalline said that consumers can make an appointment to drag the old service through the "Red Star Home" applet, and they can enjoy the 600 yuan subsidy at the highest; Go to the offline store for "replacement", and you can also enjoy the government subsidy and superimpose the joint discount. "At present, relevant subsidies have been launched in five major shopping malls in Beijing, and consumers can get subsidies and enjoy the benefits of renewal."

  The data shows that since the beginning of this year, Red Star Macalline has launched a large-scale "trade-in" campaign for home appliances in many shopping malls across the country, taking the demand for trade-in as the contact point to obtain accurate store traffic for shopping malls, and guiding the related sales between home appliances and other categories through refined operation.

  On May 9, Easyhome also revealed the progress of "trade-in" on the investor interaction platform. It said that this year, it will comprehensively promote the three major IPS of "trade-in furniture and household appliances", "old houses for new looks" and "it is difficult for families to find them", which will drive the rapid growth of home sales.

  The relevant person in charge of Real Home pointed out that the company released the "trade-in" strategy as early as 2022 and carried out related business. "According to statistics, a number of IP activities related to’ trade-in’ achieved remarkable results last year, achieving 207,000 customers, guiding sales of 650 million yuan and recycling 68,000 old things." The person in charge said.

  At the same time, many home furnishing enterprises also seize the favorable market cycle and fully exert their strength in the stock market.

  At the beginning of May, Qumei Home officially launched this year’s trade-in activities in the "Huanxin Plan Conference". In fact, since the first launch of this activity in 2013, Qumei Home has positioned it as a long-term and far-reaching important action. Zhao Ruihai, chairman of Qumei Home Furnishing Co., has repeatedly said that "trade-in" is not only a commitment to consumers, but also a manifestation of corporate social responsibility.

  "Among about 300,000 customers accumulated by enterprises, some of them are currently in the consumption cycle that needs to be updated and iterated." Recently, Meike Home also publicly stated that this year, it will increase visits to early users, carry out maintenance and clue acquisition, with a view to providing consumers with diversified replacement programs. Oupai Home has launched the whole house renovation and whole package services, such as package storage, package discount, package design and help to move, to meet the diversified needs of consumers.

  The industry believes that promoting the trade-in of household products requires both upstream and downstream synergy, and the household industry needs to continuously and deeply tap its own resources to promote the sustainable development of trade-in in a more market-oriented way and more convenient activities.

  Both ends of supply and demand still face corresponding difficulties.

  Although the market potential of trade-in is huge, it faces many difficulties in practical operation.

  From the consumer side, how to deal with the replaced furniture, where to store the old furniture, and how to find a "reliable" decoration company and foreman may all hinder the implementation of the old-for-new policy. On the supply side, trade-in, local renovation and other links have a large amount of work, relatively low customer list value, and most of them are concentrated in old communities, so the construction difficulty is relatively high.

  "At present, the residual value of many furniture recycling and dismantling wastes is relatively low, and the willingness of large-scale platform enterprises to participate in recycling is insufficient, but consumers do not have the ability to handle large pieces of furniture by themselves, which will become a constraint for replacing new ones to some extent." Zhu Jiagui, CEO and general manager of Red Star Macalline Home Furnishing Group, said that it is not easy for most home furnishing enterprises to provide large-scale trade-in services and handle old furniture well. "It is necessary to pay higher operating costs in terms of management, operation, normative environmental protection and demolition." Zhu Jiagui said.

  In view of the problem that "trade-in is easy to abandon the old", Qin Zhanxue believes that the focus of trade-in should be on the "new" and the treatment of the "old" should not be ignored. "Old products should not be treated as garbage, but should be reused." He said, for example, furniture products can be dismantled and recycled, while construction waste can be reprocessed into floor tiles for municipal decoration materials.

  The relevant person in charge of the Consumer Promotion Department of the Ministry of Commerce said that the trade-in work involves thousands of households and the vital interests of consumers. Promoting the trade-in of consumer goods is not only a powerful measure to enhance the momentum of economic growth and consolidate the good momentum of recovery, but also a long-term strategy to promote the high-quality development of the home furnishing industry. In the future, the industry should gradually establish an effective mechanism of "it is easier to get rid of the old and more willing to replace the new", so that consumers can enjoy better services and the trade-in action can be truly and thoroughly carried out in the industry.

New labeling regulations for health food: "No treatment", shelf life and other contents should be eye-catching.

  Changsha Evening News reported on August 20th (all-media reporter Zhou Huixia) On August 20th, the State Administration of Market Supervision issued the "Guidelines for Warning Terms on Health Food Labeling" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), which made the warning terms on health food more clear and strict. Including the label that a warning area must be set up, and the area should not be less than 20% of its layout, the shelf life should be described in the way of "the shelf life will last until a certain day of a certain year", and there is obvious color difference between the text in the warning language area and the background of the warning language area, etc., and the warning language should include "health food is not a drug and cannot replace drugs to treat diseases" and so on, in order to make consumers, especially elderly consumers, easily identify and understand consumption. It is reported that the "Guide" will be implemented on January 1 next year.

  False propaganda and marketing routines of health food infringe on consumers’ rights and interests.

  In China, foods that have certain health functions and are suitable for specific people are regarded as health foods, and strict management is carried out according to special food management methods. In the supervision of health food, the market supervision department focuses on the strict examination and approval of product production before listing. After listing, it is required to indicate suitable people and unsuitable people on product labels and instructions, stating that "this product cannot replace drugs".

  With the enhancement of consumers’ awareness of health care, the demand for health food has increased greatly. The market supervision department found that some violations of consumers’ rights and interests occurred in the development of health food market.

  False propaganda makes consumers unconsciously equate health food with medicine, which is the strongest phenomenon that consumers reflect on health food marketing. When the reporter followed the inspection of the law enforcement personnel of the market supervision department, he found that some merchants boasted that the mattress worth 20,000 yuan was a magic mattress that could cure all diseases, and told the old people who came to experience it: sleeping on such a mattress, the head is not dizzy, the eyes are not flowery, and the legs are not painful. Law enforcement officers found that the purchase price of such a mattress is only one tenth of the selling price, and the hot spot on the mattress is actually infrared.

  Some health foods are falsely publicized and exaggerated, and are blown into "magic medicine"; Some illegal enterprises, especially those that produce and sell nourishing and aphrodisiac health foods, illegally add sildenafil and other ingredients to harm consumers in order to enhance the efficacy of products. 

  "My grandmother went to a health care class every three to five times, and received three or five eggs and one or two boxes of noodles every time. After receiving it for a dozen times, she spent more than 4,000 yuan to buy a bunch of selenium-enriched wheat that is said to be able to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. It is moldy at home." Speaking of the temptation of health food marketing to the elderly at home, Huang Ling, who is engaged in market supervision, said that in the marketing process of health food, some consumers bought a bunch of unnecessary ordinary food at a high price.

  In view of the chaos such as consumer fraud and false propaganda in the marketing process of health food, Hunan Provincial Market Supervision Bureau reminded consumers in this year’s "100 Days" special rectification campaign to be alert to various routines in the marketing process of health food, including: cheating in the name of "prevention", "health care" and "treatment" of traditional Chinese medicine, or under the guise of medical concepts and terms; Free gifts or "health care products" boxes and bills for gifts; Faking the name of public welfare activities to attract consumers to attend lectures on popularizing health knowledge is actually promoting "health care" products; Claiming that products can cure many diseases and lure consumers; Provide family services at home and sell products to the elderly; Selling "health care" products (services) with free travel as the gimmick; The use of health programs (columns), disguised release of medical, pharmaceutical, "health" food advertisements; Through the network, "brushing the letter" makes consumers misunderstand the product sales; Lure consumers to invest, buy, etc. under the guise of high returns from buying company stocks.

  On January 8 this year, 13 departments including the State Administration of Market Supervision jointly launched a nationwide "100-day" campaign to rectify the chaos in the health care market, and the market supervision department of Hunan Province responded quickly. It is reported that in the "100-day" rectification campaign, Hunan Province filed 646 cases, recovering economic losses of 6.5542 million yuan for consumers, and investigated and dealt with a number of illegal cases with serious circumstances and strong social repercussions, such as false propaganda of Xinqi Health Industry Group Co., Ltd. 

  The warning words of the new regulations are written on the packaging box for the convenience of consumers.

  The Guide published by the State Administration of Market Supervision on August 20th, as a new measure to overweight the supervision of health care products market after the "100-day" rectification action, focuses on the supervision of products after listing from three aspects.

  First of all, it puts forward clear requirements on the warning signs of health food labels.

  Product label is the carrier for enterprises to express product information to consumers, and it is also the way for consumers to obtain product information directly. Whether the marked content is true, clear and complete directly affects consumers’ judgment and choice. The reporter found that although the health food currently on sale in the market can’t relate to the functions of disease prevention and treatment, it only states that "this product can’t replace drugs", and the position and size of the statement are not specific and often inconspicuous, which is difficult to attract consumers’ attention, and gives the marketing behavior of false propaganda and exaggerated efficacy an opportunity.

  The "Guide" makes it clear that health food should be provided with an obvious warning area, which is located on the main display page of the smallest package. It is necessary to mark the warning that "health food is not a drug and cannot replace drugs to treat diseases". The warning area should be no less than 20% of its layout, and at the same time, it should be in bold type to make consumers, especially the elderly, see it more clearly.

  "In the packaging of health food, the shelf life is difficult to find, and some indicate the shelf life of 18 months, 36 months, ‘ See Seal for the production date ’ It is not only difficult to find, but also takes half a day to calculate. " The Guide also has new standard requirements for the problems of "can’t find", "can’t see clearly" and "difficult to calculate" in the way of labeling the shelf life generally reflected by the elderly consumers who buy health food in pharmacies.

  The Guide makes it clear that the shelf life should be marked in a unified form and described in the way of "shelf life to a certain day of a certain year". In the labeling position of the shelf life, it is required to clearly mark the shelf life and production date on the obvious position of the minimum sales package (container) of the product. If the date is marked with "see a part of the package", the specific position of the package should be accurately marked. In terms of color difference, it is also required that the shelf life label should be in sharp contrast with the background color of the location, so that the shelf life can be seen at a glance and it is convenient for consumers to buy.

  In addition, the Guide also puts forward detailed requirements for labeling service telephones and business premises with consumer tips.

  In daily life, consumers often encounter some questions or problems when eating health food, such as whether children can eat it, whether the elderly are suitable to eat it, how to deal with the problems encountered in the process of eating, etc. Who to consult and reflect these questions or problems has always been a headache for consumers. In order to facilitate consumers to get advice in time when they encounter difficult problems, the Guide stipulates that information such as complaint service telephone number and service time should be clearly marked on the label of health food. Production and operation enterprises should answer and handle complaints and reports during the service period, and the relevant information should be kept for at least two years.

  Influence helps to urge enterprises to implement the main responsibility.

  Health food is not medicine, and it can’t cure diseases. The market supervision department will standardize from the label identification, which will play a positive guiding role in implementing the main responsibility of enterprises and standardizing the sales behavior of merchants.

  As a kind of special food, according to the provisions of the Food Safety Law, producers and operators are responsible for the contents of the labels provided by them. The labels of health food should not involve the functions of disease prevention and treatment, and the contents should be true and the labels should be clear and obvious.

  The Guide further requires that warning language be marked on the label, which shows the self-declaration of the real information of the product, reflects the self-commitment of the enterprise to the main responsibility, and is conducive to strengthening the awareness of honesty and self-discipline in the food industry.

  In order to remind consumers more intuitively to be rational and understand consumption, and also to restrain and supervise the marketing behavior of merchants, the Guide also stipulates that health food operators should mark consumption tips in prominent positions such as business premises and online platforms. The market supervision department has even studied and formulated a reference template for health food consumption tips, which mainly includes: health food is food, not medicine, and cannot replace medicine to treat diseases; When purchasing health food, we should recognize the approval number and mark, and choose and eat according to the suitable crowd and the unsuitable crowd; Go to regular shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies and other business units to buy; In case of violation of laws and regulations, you can report to the local market supervision department or call 12315 to report complaints.

  In recent years, the "chaos" in the health food market has become a major problem. Many consumers have a weak ability to distinguish health food, while some unscrupulous merchants exaggerate their propaganda by taking advantage of "emptiness", which makes many consumers suffer greatly. According to the relevant person in charge of health care industry Association, it is an important embodiment to protect consumers’ right to know by labeling warning words in a conspicuous position, so that consumers can enjoy the right to know the real information of the goods they buy and use, which is conducive to the formation of a long-term mechanism to resist false propaganda and prevent consumer fraud.

  Maintain the healthy ecology of health care products market

  Xiao Yinglin

  Since ancient times, health and longevity have been one of people’s wishes for a better life. Young people’s greetings and blessings to the elderly are the most sincere and most listened to words: "I wish you happiness as the East China Sea lives longer than the South Mountain". Nowadays, the life of ordinary people is getting more and more comfortable, and health care is an ordinary topic for people. The elderly turn the blessings of their younger generations into their own actions. For example, listen to the wind and buy all kinds of health care products, or even buy them inexplicably.

  As everyone knows, in the market, there are inevitably bad businesses that make money. Faced with the huge market demand, they either illegally launch products, or make false propaganda and confuse them, or make a big fuss about packaging … … Especially for some elderly people, it can be said that it is omnipotent. In recent years, the problem of merchants deceiving the elderly to buy products for profiteering by false propaganda has emerged one after another.

  With more and more elderly people in China and the development of the national strategy of "Healthy China", the market for health care products is growing. In a sense, this industry is growing into a "giant". However, some health care products with serious circumstances and strong social repercussions in cheat people have made the "giant" move forward with illness, which is unacceptable. Everyone knows that cancer growth factor appears in the body, so it must be eliminated as soon as possible by medication and even surgery, which can make the body healthy and strong.

  Now, the State Administration of Market Supervision has published the "Guidelines for Warning Terms of Health Food Labeling", which focuses on the supervision of products after listing from three aspects. It is believed that with the overweight of supervision, through the efforts of all parties, counterfeiting will be eliminated and the healthy ecology of the health care product market will be maintained.

Many places in the north entered the "sunny mode", and heavy rains in the south involved 10 provinces.

  BEIJING, Beijing, June 20 (Xinhua) In recent days, many places in the north have once again ushered in the "sunny mode". With the expansion of the sphere of influence of high temperature weather, from today, there will be high temperature weather lasting for many days in Huanghuai, North China, with the highest temperature reaching 35 ~ 38 C. In the south, rainfall has become the key word of weather, and the areas affected by heavy rain involve 10 provinces.

  Many places in the north enter the "sunny mode" and the meteorological conditions of ozone pollution are high.

  After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the high temperature once again visited many places in the north, and the sphere of influence of high temperature in Huanghuai area of North China continued to expand. According to the weather forecast, after 20 days, some areas in eastern North China and Huanghuai will have high temperature weather for 4 to 6 days, with the highest temperature reaching 35 to 38℃.

  In Beijing, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning of high temperature at 16: 40 on the 19th. It is estimated that the daily maximum temperature in most parts of Beijing will reach above 35℃ from 20th to 21st.

  Not only in Beijing, but also in the southern part of North China and the central and western parts of Huanghuai today and tomorrow, high temperatures will continue to spread. Among provincial-level cities, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and Zhengzhou will have high temperatures today and tomorrow. From the 21st, Jinan will have high temperatures for five consecutive days.

  As the "sunshine mode" is on, according to the news of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the meteorological conditions of ozone pollution in central and southern North China, Huanghuai and other places are relatively high from the 20th, with the meteorological conditions of ozone pollution ranging from 3 to 4, and the local level in central and southern North China can reach 5.

  Take Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas as an example. From 20 to 25, the central and southern parts of the region have strong solar radiation and high temperature, which is conducive to ozone generation. The meteorological conditions of ozone pollution are maintained at level 3 to 4, and the local level can reach level 5.

  According to meteorologists, ozone pollution will decompose rapidly indoors because it needs high temperature and ultraviolet radiation. Experts remind that for photochemical pollution dominated by ozone, it is of little use for people to wear masks. The most important way to prevent photochemical pollution is to avoid going out as much as possible and close doors and windows at the same time.

  Heavy rain in the south involves 10 provinces, Zhejiang and Hunan.JiangxiThere is a heavy rain in the local area.

Liaoning Province introduced measures to support export products to domestic sales.

Optimize market access, expand sales channels and strengthen fiscal and taxation support.
Our province introduced measures to support export products to domestic sales.

Fully protect the transportation demand of goods exported to domestic market, and support e-commerce platform to set up online Liaoning foreign trade product sales area … Recently, the provincial government issued "Several Measures to Support Export Products to Domestic Market in Liaoning Province" (hereinafter referred to as "Measures"), and introduced eight measures around strengthening the protection and application of intellectual property rights, broadening channels to support domestic sales, and improving the level of facilitation of domestic sales, so as to support marketable export products to explore the domestic market and promote the mutual promotion of domestic and international double circulation.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Commerce, our province mainly focuses on the equipment manufacturing industry, and it is difficult to export such products to domestic sales. It is necessary to remove obstacles and provide guarantees from the institutional level to solve the "pain points" of enterprises with different standards, poor channels and high financial pressure.

The "Measures" propose that we should combine the needs of new infrastructure, new urbanization and major engineering construction in our province, organize a batch of qualified export products such as metallurgy, petrochemical, building materials and machinery to be sold domestically, and help foreign trade enterprises integrate into the industrial chain of investment projects.

Different product standards at home and abroad are a common problem that foreign trade enterprises in our province face when exporting to domestic sales. The "Measures" propose to optimize market access and promote the integration of standards. Before the end of this year, foreign trade enterprises are allowed to make relevant written commitments to export products that meet the requirements of China’s mandatory standards through self-compliance statements. In addition, our province will also support foreign trade enterprises to develop "homogeneous products with the same line and standard" and expand the application scope of "homogeneous products with the same line and standard" to general consumer goods and industrial products. The so-called "same line, same standard and homogeneity" refers to the production of products that can be exported and sold domestically on the same production line according to the same standards and quality requirements.

At the same time, our province will open up channels to support domestic sales, including supporting e-commerce platforms to set up online Liaoning foreign trade product sales zones to promote the transformation of foreign trade enterprises to online sales; Encourage foreign trade enterprises to use new formats and new models such as online sales, live broadcast and scene experience to expand the scale of transactions; Encourage the use of pedestrian streets and professional markets to facilitate the sale of export products by foreign trade enterprises; Support foreign trade enterprises with independent brands and strong willingness to sell domestically, and establish long-term direct purchase and supply relations with large chain stores in the province.

Foreign trade enterprises may face problems such as long account period and large capital occupation when exporting to domestic market, and need financial and taxation support. Our province will support financial institutions to develop financial products suitable for foreign trade enterprises to explore the domestic market, and encourage all regions to adopt "policy guarantee+finance+goods pledge" and other ways to innovatively solve the financing problem of foreign trade enterprises to explore the domestic market. Our province will also shorten the time limit for taxation, compress the existing time limit for handling limited matters to 5 to 10 working days, and turn some limited matters into immediate matters; One-stop tax service, allowance handling, invoice mailing and other services are implemented for enterprises that export products to domestic sales.

Environmental tax will be levied next month! Do not withdraw from the historical stage by personal sewage charges.

  BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Reporter Qiu Yuzhongqing) On January 1, 2018, China was the first one-way tax law to promote the construction of ecological civilization — — The Environmental Protection Tax Law will be formally implemented, which also means that the sewage charge system that has been implemented for nearly 40 years will withdraw from the historical stage.

  Do ordinary residents have to pay environmental taxes? Are the collection standards the same everywhere? What changes will "fee to tax" bring to enterprises? Zhongxin. com has combed and interpreted this.

  Do individuals have to pay environmental taxes?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law stipulates that enterprises, institutions and other producers and operators that directly discharge taxable pollutants into the environment in People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other sea areas under the jurisdiction of People’s Republic of China (PRC) are taxpayers of environmental protection tax, and they shall pay environmental protection tax in accordance with the provisions of this law.

  In other words, ordinary residents are not included in the scope of taxation and do not have to pay environmental taxes. According to local media reports, the responsible persons of tax authorities in Hebei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places have made it clear that individual residents do not pay environmental protection tax.

  When do you start paying taxes?

  Zhongxin. com reporter learned from State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China that the first collection period of environmental protection tax will be around April next year, not to say that tax returns will be started after January 1st.

  In this regard, Shi Zhengwen, director of the Finance and Tax Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, pointed out in an interview that the environmental protection tax is "calculated on a monthly basis and declared quarterly", and the reporting period and the time when the specific tax obligation occurs are two different things.

  Shi Zhengwen said that the tax calculation began on January 1, but the declaration was from April 1 to 15. During this half-month period, enterprises had to declare their taxes.

  What pollutants are taxed?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law clearly states that air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste and noise are listed as taxable pollutants.

  Taxable air pollutants include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, chlorine gas, etc. Taxable water pollutants include total mercury, total cadmium, total lead, petroleum, animal and vegetable oils, formaldehyde, etc.

  It is worth noting that noise refers to industrial noise according to the Table of Items and Taxes of Environmental Protection Tax attached to the Environmental Protection Tax Law. This means that construction noise and traffic noise are not included in the scope of collection.

  According to the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution, environmental noise refers to the sound produced in industrial production, construction, transportation and social life that interferes with the surrounding living environment.

  Among them, industrial noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment when using fixed equipment in industrial production activities; Construction noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment during construction.

  How much do you pay?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, the amount of environmental protection tax has both an upper limit and a lower limit. The tax range of air pollutants is from 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and that of water pollutants is from 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per pollution equivalent.

  Pollution equivalent refers to a comprehensive index or unit of measurement to measure the environmental pollution caused by different pollutants according to the harmful degree of pollutants or pollution discharge activities to the environment and the technical economy of treatment.

  For example, in terms of industrial noise, different decibels exceed the standard, and the monthly tax levied is different. For example, if it exceeds the standard by 1-3 decibels, 350 yuan will exceed the standard by more than 16 decibels per month, and it will cost 11,200 yuan per month.

  Is the tax payment standard the same everywhere?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, each province has certain discretion in the specific applicable tax amount of air pollutants and water pollutants. In other words, the specific tax payment standards may be different from place to place.

  "This is equivalent to giving local governments greater discretion," Shi Zhengwen said. "The Environmental Protection Tax Law mentions three factors, namely, the environmental carrying capacity of the local area, the current situation of pollutant discharge and the requirements of economic, social and ecological development goals. According to these three factors, local governments determine the specific applicable tax amount, which varies greatly among different provinces."

  Among them, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding provinces generally set higher taxes on air pollutants and water pollutants. The applicable tax amount of taxable air pollutants in Beijing is 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the applicable tax amount of taxable water pollutants is 14 yuan per pollution equivalent, both of which are implemented according to the upper limit of tax range stipulated in the Environmental Protection Tax Law.

  Will it increase the burden on enterprises?

  The relevant person in charge of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that the environmental protection tax was jointly promoted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation. According to the standard of "shifting taxes and fees", the past sewage charges were directly converted into environmental protection taxes. Of course, generally speaking, the design of policies is not aimed at collecting money, but mainly to stimulate the awareness of environmental protection and boost the consciousness of environmental protection.

  The person in charge of the Regulation Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that changing the sewage charges into environmental taxes is conducive to improving the rigidity of law enforcement, reducing local government intervention and internalizing environmental costs. Environmental protection tax is levied according to the amount of emissions, with more emissions and more payments, less emissions and less payments, which is conducive to promoting enterprises to improve their environmental protection level and reduce pollutant emissions.

  Does the environmental protection tax belong to the local government or the central government?

  On December 27th, the State Council issued the Notice on the Ownership of Environmental Protection Tax Revenue, which made it clear that environmental protection tax was local revenue.

  The circular pointed out that in order to promote the protection and improvement of the environment and increase investment in environmental protection, the State Council decided to use all environmental protection taxes as local income.

  The current sewage charges are divided between the central and local governments by 1: 9. Wang Jianfan, director of the Department of Taxation and Administration of the Ministry of Finance, pointed out earlier that in order to mobilize local enthusiasm, considering that local governments bear the main responsibility for pollution control, it is planned to take all environmental taxes as local income, and the central government will no longer participate in the sharing.
