In order to do a good job in the supply guarantee and price stability of the coal market, there is a law to follow in "implementing intervention measures for coal prices". Article 30 of the Price Law clearly stipulates that when the prices of important commodities and services have risen or are likely to rise significantly, the people's governments of the State Council and provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government may take intervention measures such as limiting the price difference rate or profit rate, setting price limits, implementing the price increase declaration system and the price adjustment filing system.
The symposium pointed out that coal is an important basic energy and is closely related to the national economy and people's livelihood. At present, the price increase has completely deviated from the fundamentals of supply and demand. As the heating season approaches, the price is still showing a further irrational upward trend. The National Development and Reform Commission will make full use of all necessary means stipulated in the Price Law to study specific measures to intervene in coal prices, promote the return of coal prices to a reasonable range, promote the return of the coal market to rationality, ensure the safe and stable supply of energy, and ensure the warm winter of the people.
In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission will pay close attention to the dynamics of the coal market and price trends with relevant departments, sort out and investigate the contradictions and problems existing in the work of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, and coordinate and solve them in a timely manner; The market supervision department will intensify law enforcement inspection, adhere to "zero tolerance", severely crack down on illegal acts such as spreading false information, price collusion, driving up prices, hoarding and so on, and earnestly safeguard market order.
The symposium also demanded that coal enterprises should effectively improve their positions, establish a sense of the overall situation, and take the initiative to do a good job in ensuring supply and stabilizing prices; Strengthen legal awareness, operate in compliance with laws and regulations, and strictly perform medium and long-term trading contracts; Actively fulfill social responsibilities, promote the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries, ensure the demand for power generation and heating and coal for people's livelihood, and help the economy run smoothly.
