Yeongsangang Cheong, Joint Government Crackdown on Urea Solution Hoarding

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Yeongsangang River Basin Environmental Office (Director Ryu Yeon-gi) has launched an inspection into the illegal distribution of diesel vehicle urea solution.

The Yeongsangang Office announced on the 9th that since the enforcement of related laws, the government joint task force has been thoroughly cracking down to prevent market disruption and block the supply and sale of illegal urea solution products.

The joint inspection team is composed of the Yeongsangang Office, responsible for checking compliance with urea solution manufacturing standards; the Gwangju Fair Trade Commission, responsible for investigating price collusion of urea solution; and the Gwangju National Tax Service, which can verify the status of urea solution receipts, inventory, shipments, and purchase and sales locations.

The inspection personnel include a total of 15 officers in 4 teams, along with police officers who will immediately investigate any illegal activities detected during on-site inspections.

The Yeongsangang Office estimates that there are more than 100 target companies subject to inspection, including urea solution manufacturers, intermediate distributors, and gas stations.

In particular, after identifying the ‘intermediate distributors’ who are the sales channels for urea solution manufacturers and importers, the office plans to focus inspections on suspected hoarding companies by tracing the chain from the intermediate distribution network to the final sales points (gas stations, marts, internet, etc.),

and if citizens report suspicious businesses, they will actively verify the reported companies’ import volume, receipt volume, inventory volume, urea solution sales volume, inventory volume, sales locations, sales prices, and price collusion, and conduct on-site inspections accordingly.

The Yeongsangang Office is also operating a reporting reception center and strongly encourages citizens to provide information.

Director Ryu of the Yeongsangang Office said, “Urea solution manufacturers, distributors, and sales companies should strive for the stable distribution of urea solution,” and “We ask the public to actively pay attention to and participate in eradicating illegal distribution and hoarding of urea solution, even if it causes some inconvenience, until the supply of urea solution stabilizes.”
