(Central News Agency Reporter Lin Chang-shun, Taipei, 17th) In order to grasp the market supply, demand, and price fluctuations of daily necessities such as plastic bags recently, the Taipei District Prosecutors Office today joined forces with the Taipei City Police Department, the Investigation Bureau's Taipei City Field Division, the Taipei City Office of Commerce, and the Department of Legal Affairs to conduct an in-depth inspection at the Carrefour Guilin Store.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office pointed out that today's action was jointly carried out by Prosecutor Su Da-qing, along with the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau's Taipei City Field Division, the Taipei City Government Office of Commerce, the Department of Legal Affairs, the Taipei City Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, and the Wanhua Precinct.
After on-site visits and interviews with the business operators, the Carrefour Guilin Store stated that the pricing of plastic bags and related plastic products in the store is uniformly managed by the head office. Currently, the on-site retail prices remain flat compared to last week. Some daily commodities even have promotional discounts coordinated with sales periods, and there is no unreasonable price hiking. The operator emphasized that the supply channels are stable, and even if there is a short-term shortage, they can immediately restock through transfers to ensure the public's right to purchase.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office stated that members of the joint inspection team personally inspected the store shelves and confirmed that the commodities were adequately displayed. Although some products have a limit of 1 item per person to maintain supply fairness, the public order on site was good, and no large-scale hoarding or panic buying was found. In addition, regarding the eco-friendly special garbage bags necessary for people's daily lives, although there is a limit of 1 per person, people can still purchase them normally at the checkout counter without any supply shortage.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office emphasized that the stability of people's livelihoods is the cornerstone of social security. Through this cross-agency joint visit, illegal operators can be effectively deterred from using price fluctuations to hoard and jack up prices. In the future, they will continue to closely track market conditions and maintain close contact with the police, investigation, and administrative agencies. If any violations of the Fair Trade Act or criminal offenses are found, they will be strictly investigated to ensure the smooth supply of livelihood goods and market order.
