The Steering Committee 389 recently convened a meeting on the fight against smuggling, counterfeit products, and trade fraud in the rest of the year.

In the first half, the Ha Noi Steering Committee 389 proactively provided consultations for the Government, the National Steering Committee 389, and the Ha Noi Municipal People’s Committee to combat trade frauds, thus contributing to ensuring legitimate rights of businesses and customers.

In January-June, over VND 1.3 trillion of administrative fines was collected. Over 111 cases and 143 people involved were put on trial.

In the rest of the year, the Steering Committee would focus on investigating and punishing violations on low-quality products, food hygiene; checking hot spots at transport roads, stations, warehouses, markets, as well as commercial centers.

Businesses were asked to improve product quality and work with local competent agencies to combat smuggling./.
