The issue of w88 online live casino has always been of concern to the Chinese people. Since“Clenbuterol”To“Dyeed steamed buns”, from“Beef paste”To“A drop of fragrance”, from“Gutter oil”Again“Bacteria”, w88 online live casino incidents, large and small, continue to stimulate the already tense nerves of consumers and challenge the moral bottom line of the public. On the Internet, some netizens even posted“What else can we eat in this day and age?”'s question.
It is undeniable that w88 online live casino problems occur frequently in our country, and the reasons are very complex. There are objective risks brought about by the rapid development of food industrialization and rapid changes in food technology, and there are also social risks brought about by the failure of regulations as our country is in a period of social transformation. The superposition of the two factors will inevitably multiply the risks. But more importantly, the high incidence and mass occurrence of w88 online live casino problems also reveal that there are still many deficiencies in the institutional mechanisms and even the design of rules for w88 online live casino in our country.
For a long time, our country has mainly relied on administrative supervision to ensure w88 online live casino, that is, it mainly maintains w88 online live casino by formulating relevant standards for w88 online live casino, conducting qualification reviews of enterprises, and conducting supervision and spot inspections of food production, processing, operation and service enterprises by quality inspection, industry and commerce, health and other regulatory departments. The emphasis on maintaining w88 online live casino through administrative supervision is related to the actual needs caused by my country's immature market development, low economic development level, and uneven regional development. In actual operation, this model also shows its rationality. However, we must be aware that relying mainly on administrative supervision to ensure w88 online live casino has inherent shortcomings. For example, according to statistics, there are currently food production companies in our country40Dozens of food business entities300Duowanjia, farmers, herdsmen and fishermen2There are more than 100 million households, including countless small workshops, small vendors, and small restaurants. How can we effectively supervise so many producers and operators? At the same time,“Kowloon Flood Control”The inherent flaws of the general regulatory system, the impulsive performance of local governments, the tendency of power to seek rent, etc., will inevitably form a huge restriction on the effectiveness of this model. In recent years, my country's w88 online live casino problems have occurred one after another, clearly demonstrating that it is difficult to effectively restrain and deter enterprises' illegal behavior by relying mainly on administrative supervision.
We must conduct a comprehensive reflection on this. In fact, the experience accumulated by some developed countries in w88 online live casino is particularly worth learning from. Generally speaking, in addition to using government supervision to prevent and control w88 online live casino problems in advance, developed countries also emphasize the use of system design to encourage consumers to protect their rights, in order to restrain the illegal behavior of manufacturers and sellers, believing that the latter is more direct and effective in solving w88 online live casino problems.
Take the United States as an example. Although relevant departments of the U.S. government (such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) have extensive prevention, control, and inspection powers over w88 online live casino, most importantly, the United States restricts the behavior of manufacturers and distributors and ensures w88 online live casino through institutional arrangements that encourage consumers to safeguard their rights. In terms of specific systems, firstly, a complete and developed product liability system has been established. Generally, as long as food or related services are defective and cause damage, consumers can obtain compensation (including mental damage compensation and punitive damages) through litigation and other forms of rights protection, and the amount of compensation may be astronomical. For example, an old lady in the United States was burnt by coffee sold by McDonald's and finally won4610,000 US dollars in punitive damages. High compensation not only increases the illegal costs of illegal enterprises, but also acts as a deterrent to other enterprises and curbs their illegal impulses. Second, once information related to consumer rights protection (such as complaint information) is gathered, social organizations and the media can promptly supervise and expose the situation of illegal companies, influence consumer consumption choices through market mechanisms, and then put huge pressure on illegal companies, ultimately forcing companies to pay attention to w88 online live casino to avoid being spurned by consumers and eliminated from the market. Obviously, enterprises as“Economic Animal”, its nature is to pursue greater profits. When the safety of the food produced is closely related to its own interests and even its survival destiny, it is logical to choose to pay more attention to quality and safety.
To a certain extent, my country's current w88 online live casino security system lacks the link of protecting consumer rights and closely linking quality and safety with corporate economic interests. As a result, regulatory authorities have tried their best, but still have little or no effect. Because of this, to solve my country's w88 online live casino dilemma, it is particularly necessary to optimize government supervision and carry out institutional innovation to encourage and support consumers to safeguard their rights.
To encourage and support consumers to safeguard their rights, in my opinion, we must first improve the legal system and rules and fully mobilize consumers' enthusiasm for safeguarding their rights. In particular, we should change the situation in which consumers' rights protection outweighs the gains and losses in w88 online live casino disputes. For example, according to the provisions of the w88 online live casino Law, consumers can request that food that does not meet w88 online live casino standards be produced or knowingly sold“Ten times compensation”, but food prices are generally low, and the ten-fold amount is still limited, and is often not even enough to cover consumers’ time, energy, expenses and other cost investment, which makes it difficult to motivate consumers to protect their rights. In this regard, the applicable conditions for punitive damages and mental damage compensation can be established and relaxed through legal amendments or judicial interpretations, or they can be added“Minimum compensation for small damages”Rules to mobilize consumers’ enthusiasm for safeguarding their rights.
To encourage and support consumers to safeguard their rights, we must also provide convenience for consumers to safeguard their rights. w88 online live casino cases are often characterized by multiple occurrences and small amounts. If the dispute is inconvenient to resolve, the victims often swallow their anger and the problem often remains unresolved. If things go on like this, illegal companies become more unscrupulous. In this regard, we can learn from some mature foreign practices, such as establishing diversified dispute resolution mechanisms including arbitration, mediation, neutral evaluation, etc. to resolve disputes quickly and conveniently and facilitate consumers' rights protection. In terms of the litigation system, small claims litigation procedures can also be added, and strive to be simple (such as the implementation of first instance and final adjudication), flexible (court sessions can be arranged in the evening or on weekends, and mediation is given priority), and economical to meet the needs of consumers.
Finally, it is particularly important to achieve effective linkage between consumer rights protection, government supervision, and social supervision, so as to give full play to the overall effect of various systems to ensure w88 online live casino. For example, consumer rights protection information can be effectively combined with media and industry supervision. Through institutional arrangements, the government or consumer organizations can regularly release relevant w88 online live casino information to guide consumption based on consumer complaints. It can also establish and improve food company quality and safety information systems based on consumer complaints. Government departments can conduct hierarchical and classified supervision of enterprises based on this, and enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of supervision, so as to ultimately form a joint force of supervision, effectively restrain the illegal behavior of enterprises, and improve my country's w88 online live casino level.
