一财社论：防范“远洋捕捞”需要制度建设先行

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of the "Eight Measures" marks a significant step in establishing a regulatory framework to prevent "ocean fishing" style law enforcement, which has been detrimental to both businesses and individuals, as well as the credibility of enforcement agencies [1][3]. Group 1: Regulatory Framework - The "Eight Measures" were jointly issued by market regulatory departments in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Shanghai to leverage collaborative enforcement advantages in the Yangtze River Delta [1]. - This initiative aims to prevent illegal cross-regional enforcement and profit-driven law enforcement practices, which have been a growing concern [1][2]. Group 2: Challenges Addressed - The main challenges in preventing "ocean fishing" style enforcement include difficulties in jurisdictional norms, the suspension of enforcement in disputed cases, and effective supervision [1][2]. - The "Eight Measures" respond to these challenges by reinforcing the rigidity of "collaborative investigation" and requiring prior notification to local departments for cross-regional evidence collection [2]. Group 3: Protection of Rights - The introduction of a "suspension of execution" mechanism for disputed cases aims to protect the legal rights of involved parties, preventing irreversible damages caused by aggressive enforcement actions [2]. - This mechanism includes halting not only the enforcement process but also the suspension of any previously taken coercive measures [2]. Group 4: Supervision and Accountability - The "Eight Measures" enhance supervision of cross-regional enforcement by mandating timely reporting of suspected violations to higher authorities, especially in cases with significant impact [2][5]. - The need for a comprehensive constraint system is emphasized, as current enforcement personnel often act in the interest of local benefits, necessitating stronger institutional frameworks [4]. Group 5: Ongoing Efforts - Continuous efforts are required to strengthen institutional frameworks and increase punitive measures against "ocean fishing" style enforcement to create effective deterrence [5]. - Recent data from the Supreme People's Procuratorate indicates an increase in oversight of such cases, with 30 key cases being addressed in the first nine months of the year [5].
