TV companies suspected of fraudulent energy-saving subsidies exceed 80% of products not up to standard

Energy-saving subsidies were implemented more than a month ago. Appliance stores are a mess. In the past few days, the reporter learned from the investigation that color TV manufacturers have started promoting energy-saving subsidies in order to attract customers to purchase products. The “energy saving subsidy” leaflets in stores can be seen everywhere, but flat-panel TVs sold by home appliance stores are basically inconsistent with energy-saving subsidies. According to the request, most of the color TV products that are entitled to national energy subsidies are lower than the threshold for enjoying subsidies in the energy efficiency index. Industry sources pointed out that at present, more than 80% of color TV products on the market can not meet the requirements of the national energy subsidies, color TV manufacturers want to get rid of the sluggish market conditions as soon as possible understandable, but this false propaganda, and even suspected of defrauding the state subsidies should be obtained Seriously deal with.

From the 1st of June, the central government allocated 26.5 billion yuan to support the expansion of consumption of energy-saving appliances and other products, and comprehensively launched and promoted energy-saving products such as air conditioners, flat-panel TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and water heaters that comply with energy-saving standards. The purchaser can enjoy subsidy ranging from 70 yuan to 600 yuan when purchasing qualified energy-saving appliances of 5 types.

Color energy efficiency identification is not easy to find

The reporter discovered from the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the "Energy-saving Products Benefiting People's Projects High-efficiency and Energy-saving Flat-panel TVs Promotion and Implementation Rules" found that products meeting the subsidy conditions can enjoy a subsidy of 100 yuan to 400 yuan (see table).

The reporter noted that in addition to the different size of the subsidies will result in different amounts, to enjoy energy-saving subsidies but also to meet certain requirements in the energy efficiency index. According to the flat-panel TV energy efficiency rating standard implemented last year (ie "flat-panel TV energy efficiency limit and energy efficiency rating"), the LCD TV-level energy efficiency index is 1.4, plasma TV is 1.2. However, the energy saving subsidy has put forward higher requirements. The energy efficiency index for LCD TVs that enjoy subsidies must reach 1.7, and plasma TVs must reach 1.4.

In practice, this "threshold" requirement has not been implemented.

In the Yuexiu District, a chain of home appliance stores, sales staff of Hisense counters told reporters that Hisense has a number of models of products can enjoy energy-saving subsidies, "like this price of 10,000 yuan LCD TV, now do special 9000 yuan can be traded , consumers only need to pay 8,600 yuan after enjoying the 400 yuan subsidy." Sales staff said. The reporter saw that the "energy-saving subsidies of 400 yuan" was affixed to the most conspicuous position of this color TV, but the energy efficiency logo was not easy to find. The salesperson reminded reporters that the energy efficiency logo was found behind the TV. Although it reached a level 1 energy efficiency, The energy efficiency index is less than 1.7.

The sales staff could not give any more explanation for the situation where the energy efficiency index did not meet the requirements but the “energy saving subsidy” label was attached. “This is the manufacturer’s label. We do not know either. There is a subsidy anyway. It's up to you."

False propaganda "energy saving subsidies"

This is not a phenomenon unique to Hisense. The reporter found that in the store, including Changhong, Konka, TCL (microblogging), Skyworth, Samsung and other LCD TVs, energy efficiency index of less than 1.7, color TV energy efficiency logo is not as standard as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, most color TV Companies either stick the energy efficiency label on the back or simply do not stick it.

In another store in Haizhu District, sales personnel had told reporters before the energy-saving subsidy policy landed that the energy efficiency index of only one LCD TV in the entire store exceeded 1.7. When the reporter visited yesterday, he found that the prototype of the store had not been substantially replaced, but In many color TV business counters, the models of “energy-saving subsidies” products have reached 3 or more, and the energy efficiency subsidies of these LCD TVs with nominal energy subsidies are all lower than 1.7.

The person in charge of the store explained that the country’s model review of energy-saving subsidies is very stringent. At present, manufacturers are also increasing their efforts to introduce models that meet the requirements for energy-saving subsidies, but this requires a process. “Before this, manufacturers may Product promotion, increase the sales atmosphere of energy-saving products, and label energy-saving subsidies on some prototypes that do not meet the requirements."

Liu Weizhi, president of the Skyworth Group’s color TV division, also stated that manufacturers have recently stepped up their efforts to clean up products that do not meet energy-saving subsidies. It is estimated that between September and October, it will be possible to ensure a more complete distribution of goods in the stores. He disclosed that to upgrade the current TV with an energy efficiency index of 1.4 to 1.7, it needs to be solved through a mechanical solution or a panel solution, which will lead to a certain upward pressure on corporate costs. Industry insiders pointed out that it is necessary to upgrade the original TV material—brightness enhancement film and LED light. This is a systematic task, and it cannot be achieved simply by replacing the product model.

Defrauding behavior

Will be severely beaten

The behavior of color TV manufacturers that did not arrive and “preheat” in advance is not only false propaganda, but also allegedly defrauding state subsidies. In accordance with the energy-saving subsidies, consumers provide copies of their ID cards when they purchase products. After signing the subsidies and promising to cooperate with relevant inspection opinions, the promotion companies will redeem the subsidies to consumers and the companies will apply for subsidies from government agencies.

"When consumers purchase energy-saving subsidies, they not only need to enjoy energy-saving subsidies of several hundred yuan, but they must also ensure that the machines they buy are energy-efficient," Wang Ruohong, director of the Energy Efficiency Label Management Center of the China National Institute of Standardization pointed out to the reporter. This kind of behavior that fails to meet energy efficiency standards but claims to enjoy subsidies is in violation of state regulations and should be dealt with seriously. Wang Ruohong also stressed that the energy efficiency label must be placed on the prominent position of the product, and sticking the label on the back of the TV or not labeling the energy efficiency label is illegal.

The Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have previously stated that they will increase supervision on the quality of energy-saving products, energy efficiency, the number of products promoted, and the payment of subsidies, as well as energy efficiency grades for substandard products and virtual products. The enterprises, as well as the production companies and distribution companies that make up false promotion information to defraud subsidy funds and distribution companies, have been given penalties for deduction of subsidies, fines, and cancellation of promotion of energy-saving products.
