Regarding the question of Dan Tri reporter about checking and handling the complaint against Ms. Chu Thanh Huyen for selling goods without invoices and documents, at the regular press conference of the second quarter of the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the afternoon of June 19, Mr. Hoang Anh Duong - Deputy Director of the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development (Ministry of Industry and Trade) - said that after receiving the information, the Department had conducted an inspection and handling.

Once we have specific results, we will inform you about the results of handling this issue," Mr. Duong informed.
More than 5,500 businesses closed
At the press conference, Dan Tri reporters also raised the issue of the recent situation where, in many traditional markets and busy business streets, small traders have closed their stalls and temporarily suspended business operations.
"Many households reflect that the cause comes from the pressure of anti-counterfeit and counterfeit goods inspections, while most goods at the market do not have full invoices and documents. How does the Ministry of Industry and Trade assess this situation? In the long term, what solutions does the Ministry have to both support and protect the rights of small traders and ensure that campaigns to control counterfeit and counterfeit goods are carried out effectively?", the reporter asked.
Regarding this issue, Mr. Duong said that from June 15 to June 16, the authorities simultaneously deployed inspections, controls and combats smuggling and achieved certain results.
"According to the report, there is a phenomenon of many stores and businesses on the streets and traditional markets closing their stores. A quick report shows that over 5,500 stores have closed, focusing on food, functional foods, confectionery, household goods...", Mr. Duong said.

Mr. Duong said that this closure was due to many reasons. Specifically, because business activities did not achieve the desired results, traditional business models were no longer effective in the face of the strong development of e-commerce.
"In addition, due to the concern of authorities during the peak period of preventing counterfeit goods, some businesses have not met business conditions, invoice procedures, and sold goods of unknown origin," he said.
In addition, the management agency's leaders said that there was a small part of the impact caused by tax policies. In addition, some business households were slow to change their models, not focusing on e-commerce models, improving service quality, and diversifying products. Some related stores repaired their facilities...
In the coming time, the local market management force will step up the inspection and strict management of warehouses in the area. Along with that, the Department will review and propose competent authorities to issue amendments and supplements, clearly defining the responsibilities of field management and area management, ensuring no overlap. Participate in the development of decrees related to e-commerce.
