Pan Guimei, deputy to the National People's Congress and general manager of Sinopec Hunan Petroleum Branch, called for strengthening market supervision and accelerating the upgrading of refined oil quality.
The details are as follows:
Red Net Beijing News on March 6 Refined oil is an important commodity related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. In a sense, the quality of refined oil is related to the running quality of the entire national economy, so it has also become a hot topic for many representatives of the National Two Sessions. At present, the whole country is vigorously promoting the upgrading of oil products, and the price difference between different quality oil products is gradually increasing. However, due to insufficient market supervision, it is common for oil products with high and low standards to coexist in the market.
Today, Pan Guimei, deputy to the National People's Congress and general manager of Sinopec Hunan Petroleum Branch, said in an interview that this situation has caused a very prominent problem of "bad money driving out good money" and formed a "law-abiding business enterprise". The market chaos in which profits are damaged and non-compliance and illegal operations make profits is in urgent need of vigorous rectification.
Insufficient upgrading of oil products seriously affects the prevention and control of air pollution
In April 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Supervision of the Refined Oil Market", but the finished product Oil market supervision involves many departments. The law enforcement management mechanism in some areas is not smooth and insufficient. Effective measures have not been taken against local refineries that do not upgrade as required and social business units that sell non-standard oil products, resulting in a slow pace of diesel quality upgrades or even Stagnant progress, the proportion of non-vehicle diesel consumption continues to increase, and the emissions of motor vehicle pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides have increased, seriously affecting the smooth progress of the air pollution prevention and control strategy.
According to the national quality standards, automotive diesel is suitable for compression diesel engine vehicles, but does not include three-wheeled vehicles and low-speed trucks specified in GB19756, and the specific implementation scope has not been defined. At present, the phenomenon of National V automotive diesel, National IV automotive diesel, National III ordinary diesel and light fuel oil still exist on the market, and the price difference is large. The diversity of resources and consumers' sensitivity to diesel prices directly lead to the differentiation of customer groups, providing space for some social business units to illegally sell non-standard oil products. At the same time, social business units have also used low-price dumping to compete for customer resources and seize market share. "This has not only prevented those law-abiding companies from selling high-quality oil products at the same price, but also led to the loss of market share." Pan Guimei said worriedly.
In addition, due to the wide variety of products and large price differences in the refined oil market, especially the diesel market, and the difficulty of tax supervision, some social business units have resorted to tax evasion, causing huge losses to the country's fiscal and taxation resources. . The "copycat" gas stations that appear frequently across the country are the main "black hands" in the sales of low-standard and inferior oil products. They disrupt the market order and seriously interfere with the upgrading of oil products.
Strengthening market supervision and accelerating the quality upgrading of refined oil products
Pan Guimei said that accelerating the quality upgrading of refined oil products is an important national special action. The quality upgrading of refined oil products is highly policy-oriented, involves a wide range, and requires coordination among many departments and links. Strong national leadership and strong promotion by governments at all levels are the key to success.
She suggested that the central and local governments at all levels should strengthen organizational leadership, identify leading departments and competent units as soon as possible, and clarify the division of responsibilities. The state should promulgate relevant management regulations and measures as soon as possible to provide a basis for market supervision and law enforcement. In order to avoid the chaos of "one market, one type of oil products, two standards, and two prices", all gas stations nationwide should be clarified. All diesel for automotive use must be sold, and the sale of non-automotive diesel is prohibited. Governments at all levels must not only carry out comprehensive and sustained special inspections and market supervision, but also use scientific and technological means and Internet technology to strengthen real-time supervision of the quality of oil products at all depots, and effectively increase the number of illegal sales of non-standard oil products and blended oils. and other penalties for units that disrupt market operation order, create a fair and orderly market operation environment, and ensure the smooth realization of the goal of upgrading the quality of refined oil products.
In order to speed up the quality upgrading of refined oil products, she also suggested opening a "green channel" for the approval of refined oil quality upgrading projects. The state should increase policy support for refined oil quality upgrading projects of refineries and introduce measures to increase loans. Financial policies with interest discounts and opening up green channels for administrative licensing approvals such as environmental impact assessment, safety assessment, energy conservation, and occupational health have created favorable conditions for accelerating refined oil quality upgrading projects and building compliance.
As for counterfeit gas stations that do not sell oil products under their true names and labels, pass off fake oil products as genuine, substandard oil products, or pass off unqualified oil products as qualified oil products, infringe the exclusive rights of others to register trademarks, forge or impersonate the brands of state-owned petrochemical enterprises, Relevant departments must adhere to the combination of special rectification and mobilization of the masses to take measures to severely crack down on the behavior of misleading and deceiving consumers, as well as the behavior of unscrupulous companies evading taxes on refined oil products.
