论网络食品交易第三方平台责任制度构建的困境与出路

On Dilemma and Outlet of the Third-party Platform Responsibility System in Online Food Trade

现行《食品安全法》第62条、第131条明确了第三方平台的法律责任。然而,第三方平台在网络食品交易之中仍然存在法律地位不明确、法律规定不够细化以及监管部门与平台间责任界限不清等问题。鉴于此,应当明确第三方平台的新型交易中介的法律地位,并从第三方平台的主体义务、审核管理义务、维护消费者合法权益的义务三个方面进行法律条文规定的细化,厘清监管部门与平台间的责任界限,并建立共治机制实现对第三方平台的社会共治。

Article 62 and Article 131 of current Food Safety Law clarify the legal responsibilities of the third-party platforms.However,third-party platforms still have problems such as unclear legal status in online food transactions,insufficient level of detail in legal provisions,and unclear boundaries of responsibility between regulatory authorities and platforms.In view of this,we should clarify the legal status of the third-party platform in the new type of transaction intermediary,provide legal provisions in detail for the third-party platforms from three aspects:the obligation of the subject,the obligation of review and management and the obligation of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers,clarify the responsibility boundary between regulatory departments and platforms and establish a co-governance mechanism to achieve the purpose of social co-governance.
