Chính phủ bãi bỏ toàn bộ hoặc một phần đối với 10 nghị định- Ảnh 1. — The Government abolished all 8 decrees.

According to the Ministry of Justice , in recent times, a number of ministries and ministerial-level agencies have reviewed and discovered a number of legal documents that are no longer applied in practice, but there is no legal basis to determine their expiration according to the provisions of the Laws on Promulgation of Legal Documents (1996, 2008, 2015 and the Laws amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents). The Ministry of Justice has proposed to develop a Decree regulating the total or partial abolition of 10 decrees in many areas of state management of ministries and branches, in order to avoid confusion and difficulties in searching.

On that basis, the Government issued Decree 285/2025/ND-CP abolishing a number of Government decrees that are no longer applied in practice, not prescribing new policies or amending or supplementing existing policies in documents, thus not creating additional human and financial resources in implementing and enforcing the Decree after it is issued by the Government.
