Features: The "Administrative Penalties for Price Violations" (hereinafter referred to as the "Penalty Regulations") was approved by the State Council on July 10, 1999, and released by the National Development and Reform Commission on August 1, 1999, coming into effect on the date of release (August 1, 1999). The Penalty Regulations were formulated to specifically address the implementation and operational issues in the price administrative enforcement clauses of the "Price Law." The primary guiding principle behind the formulation of the Penalty Regulations was to both ensure and strengthen the enforcement of price administrative law while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and businesses. Therefore, the introduction of the Penalty Regulations has, on one hand, basically resolved many difficult legal issues (such as operational and enforcement strength problems) encountered by law enforcement personnel working in price administrative enforcement, providing them with an essential operational guide for their work. On the other hand, it has further clarified and practically protected the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and businesses under the "Price Law." To help price administrative enforcement personnel, consumers, and businesses study, promote, and implement this important administrative regulation, we organized relevant colleagues to jointly write this book. The book's features are as follows: , The contributors to this book are directly involved in the drafting and revision of this regulation, including staff from the State Council Legal Affairs Office and relevant departments, who are familiar with the background of the drafting and revision as well as the true meaning of the provisions. Second, in addition to providing a thorough and detailed interpretation of each provision of the regulation, it also comprehensively introduces and explains the background of the Penalty Regulations' formulation, the main issues studied, and the common concerns of price administrative enforcement personnel, consumers, and businesses. Third, it is presented in a question-and-answer format, making it easy to search and understand. Therefore, this book has the potential to become a good friend for price administrative enforcement personnel, consumers, and businesses.
