Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission conducted a large-scale anti-monopoly investigation on automobile circulation, which shocked both domestic and foreign. There is indeed a serious monopoly problem in the automobile circulation industry, which has caused huge profits for luxury cars. Some imported parts and components have a zero ratio or even more than 10 times, which seriously damages consumers' rights and interests. Anti-monopoly operations have been supported by domestic public opinion. An online survey shows that 84% of voters believe that there is a clear monopolistic behavior in the auto industry and support the government in anti-monopoly actions in the auto industry.
On August 1st, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued the "Announcement on Stopping the Implementation of the Recording Work of Automobile Distributors and Authorized Dealers of Automobile Brands", which will no longer record the auto dealers and general dealers, although the announcement itself is a simplified procedure. Decentralization has not fundamentally shaken the brand sales management approach, but many people have more expectations for abolishing this approach. The Implementation Measures for Automobile Brand Sales Management, which was implemented in 2005, stipulates that the exclusive distributor of the OEM will carry out the exclusive authorization of the single automobile brand, which will make the dealer and after-sales service form a closed system, and abuse the dominant position and support for the vehicle manufacturers. The price monopoly of services has laid the groundwork. If we do not modify and improve the relevant laws and regulations, we will not be able to completely solve the monopoly problem in the automobile industry by relying solely on storm-based anti-monopoly actions. The EU's anti-portrait monopoly guide has more than 50,000 words. Our car brand sales management method is only 4,000 words. It is not condemn, especially in the absence of anti-monopoly content, not to mention the specific details of anti-monopoly. Provisions.
The key to breaking the monopoly is to protect orderly competition. According to some media reports, the AQSIQ plans to include cars imported from unlicensed channels in the scope of “three guarantees for automobilesâ€. At the same time, for the non-authorized importers of China, the scale is generally small, and it is difficult to bear the responsibility of “three guaranteesâ€. The AQSIQ is planning to include insurance companies such as PICC in the “three guarantees†system of non-standard vehicles. If this policy is introduced, it will push parallel imported vehicles out of the "gray zone" and will also incite the price monopoly of multinational companies in China. On the other hand, it will also break the monopoly of the 4S system on the post market. The size of the US auto aftermarket is about $300 billion, of which the 4S shop licensing system only accounts for 20% of the total. Only by forming a diversified and fully competitive market structure can we fundamentally break a monopoly of monopoly and allow consumers to enjoy reasonable service standards.
Regarding the monopolistic behavior of the automobile industry and the unreasonable price of imported automobiles and parts, the media has reflected for many years, but no action has been taken by the relevant departments. Therefore, through the anti-monopoly action of the automobile industry, people also called on the relevant departments to establish normalization. Antitrust regulatory mechanism. On the basis of the relevant anti-monopoly agencies of the ministries, provincial regulatory agencies should be established. In terms of price, China's price law divides prices into three categories, namely, government-guided prices, government pricing, and market-adjusted prices. Now, it seems that the regulation of market-adjusted prices is weak. In 2002, the State Planning Commission announced the release of car price control. At the same time, the State Planning Commission also requested the local price authorities to immediately organize the clean-up of various charges for the purchase, distribution and use of cars in conjunction with relevant departments. The inspection of the implementation of the cancelled fee items has been carried out. This shows that liberalizing prices does not mean relaxing supervision. Even if the market adjusts prices, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and find problems in a timely manner. For the problems reflected by consumers and the media, they should be investigated and dealt with in a timely manner. When the problems are ingrained and difficult to return, it will be very difficult to handle.
