In addition, there should be amendments to the Law on Intellectual Property to handle violations of press copyright, enhance the responsibility of enterprises providing intermediary services on cyberspace in protecting copyright of press works; amend the Law on Advertising to manage business activities of cross-border platforms to ensure a healthy and equal competitive environment...
Besides, it is necessary to build a mechanism for the State to order high-quality press products; have appropriate investment policies and financial mechanisms.

The National Assembly Chairman mentioned the results of the activities of the National Assembly and the National Assembly Standing Committee in recent times, especially the innovation in thinking in law-making: The law only regulates issues within the authority of the National Assembly, not legalizing issues under circulars and decrees.
Shifting management thinking to unleashing resources, strengthening decentralization and delegation of authority thoroughly and substantially, ensuring sufficient capacity for individuals and decentralized agencies to organize and carry out work. Creating favorable conditions and giving proactive and flexible authority to the Government in the process of organizing law implementation, linking law making and law enforcement to achieve the highest efficiency.
Because of these innovations, the National Assembly has considered and passed a very large number of laws and resolutions (The National Assembly has so far issued 213 laws and codes that are in effect. The 7th and 8th regular sessions and the 9th extraordinary session of the 15th National Assembly alone have issued 33 laws and this 9th session is expected to pass 34 more laws, so the recently issued laws are 67 laws, accounting for 31.4% of the total 213 laws).
