Study On The Legal Issues Of Consumers’ Participation In The Public Utility Price Hearing

Utility price hearing is in respect of people live and work, an important system stability of the state. Prices authorities as organizers, manufacturers and consumer interests as a group the two opposing factions, all of which are hoped game between the price of the hearing sought to achieve their purpose. However, the present of the various resources in a balanced, equal sides confrontation, but because of consumer interest groups, lack of information, the representative of the selection process is imperfect, lack of experience, preparation time and so hasty negative factors caused low morale, active participation is not high. The strength of the poor so that delegates will participate in the hearing without a fight, vendors and organizers were forced to raise the price of compromise solutions.This article focus on the utility of the price system vulnerable participants-consumers of legal issues related to expansion in detail. The ultimate goal of price hearing is for the benefit of the people, if not hear the true voice of the people, will not solve people’s hiding something, the hearing will be held to no avail. In the most difficult problems is the problem of asymmetric information and selection system of representatives, consumer associations as a strong secondary institutions should give full play to their effectiveness, in order to ensure effective and objective hearing escort. I believe that in order to effectively solve the utility price increases, the conflict between the people and vendors to bring, they should formulate and improve relevant laws and regulations, from the reality of the original policy adjustment measures to help consumers improve their participation in strength. If through continuous improvement of higher authorities, manufacturers and consumers to grasp a similar amount of information, consumer representatives and transparent selection system to gradually improve it, "patron saint" of the boot coupled with the Consumer Association of consumer interests, then widely circulated the price of public utilities hearing a mere formality, going through the motions will be the crux of effective relief.The innovation of this paper is to concisely describes the basic relationship between the prices of public utilities hearing tripartite body. Key issues relating to consumer participation, diffusion out of the problem of asymmetric information, consumers and consumer associations to participate in the selection of these three core elements to seize the consumer to participate in utility prices will face a hearing. Especially consumer associations to participate in hearings in academia are few studies, but I believe that consumer associations have considerable qualifications, can play a supporting role to the overall utility price hearings can also play better streamline coordination role. Unfortunately, due to my knowledge, limited experience, this is not enough in-depth learning problems, resulting in significant theoretical papers also shallow. Sincerely hope that this proposal can be paving the way for further development in the future price hearing system, more people will go through meticulous scientific investigation and analysis, the involvement of the associations implement and gradually into the right track. On the three we have adopted the practice areas for improvement raised portion.After the solution immediately given way to a more clear and consistent completion.
