Presenting the review report, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee Phan Van Mai said: The Economic and Financial Committee and the National Assembly agencies basically agree on the necessity of issuing a National Assembly Resolution on mechanisms and policies for national energy development in the 2026-2030 period.
Although the draft Resolution has been reviewed and compared with relevant legal documents, many contents in the draft currently overlap with laws and resolutions that are being amended and supplemented, such as the Law on Planning, the Law on Investment, the Law on National Reserves, etc.
Therefore, the review agency recommends that the Government direct a closer review and comparison, and transfer appropriate policies to draft laws and resolutions being submitted at the 10th Session. At the same time, policies that are not really urgent, whose impacts have not been fully assessed, or have many potential consequences should be included in the 2026 Law-making Program. This is to ensure consistency, avoid duplication and overlap, and minimize difficulties in implementation.
At the same time, the inspection agency also proposed to continue reviewing and regulating in the Resolution the principled contents under the authority of the National Assembly, not regulating the contents under the authority of issuing sub-law documents of the Government, ministries, branches and localities.
