People concerned about the development and Reform Commission told reporters yesterday.

Wu Xiaohua, a researcher at the national development and Reform Commission's Macroeconomic Research Institute, said that the last meeting of the NDRC was not to say that enterprises should not be allowed to rise in price, but to understand the situation of enterprises.

Product price increase is a normal market behavior. As long as there is no violation of the price law, the government can not intervene.

Earlier, people concerned with the NDRC also said that the fine of 2 million yuan was not due to Unilever's rising price behavior, but because it had repeatedly spread through the media before the price rise, disrupting the normal market order, belonging to "fabricating and distributing price information."

An internal analyst at the NDRC told reporters that Unilever's rise in price is not illegal at present. Unless the NDRC has the evidence that the European Union believes that Unilever and other enterprises operate price of daily chemicals together, it can intervene.

Corporate price increases are not related to government departments.

Xu Xiaonian, a well-known economist, told reporters yesterday that he agreed with the development and Reform Commission's statement.

Xu Xiaonian thought that the price increase of enterprises was irrelevant to the government departments. The government departments had no right to interfere in the enterprise's independent pricing. He also opposed the practice of allowing state-owned enterprises to raise prices and limit the price rise of private enterprises.

He said, "fuel surcharges, electricity prices, these pro sons have gone up, what is the limit of private enterprises to raise prices?"
