Speaking at the discussion, delegate Nguyen Dinh Viet, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Economic Committee, a provincial National Assembly delegate, basically agreed with the Draft Law on Land (amended), but said that the draft law still had many issues that needed to be improved. He said that the draft law dossier sent to National Assembly delegates and agencies of the National Assembly was delayed, causing great difficulties for delegates to be able to carefully study and give opinions on the Draft Law on Land (amended).

Commenting on some specific provisions, delegates said that in clauses 11 and 15, Article 3 stipulates that "Transfer of land use rights is the transfer of land use rights...", "Disputed land is a land plot with land disputes...", suggesting that the Drafting Committee study and supplement, explain more clearly and specifically about these concepts.

Regarding the Land Development Fund, Clause 3, Article 113 stipulates: “The People's Committee at the provincial level is responsible for submitting to the People's Council at the same level for decision to allocate at least 10% of the revenue from land use fees and annual land rent of the locality to the Land Development Fund” . According to the delegate, it is not advisable to specify the minimum level of 10% as in the draft because the demand for land use and revenue from land in localities is very different, so the decision on the land development fund can be assigned to the People's Council to decide based on the practical situation of the localities.

Provincial National Assembly Delegate Nguyen Dinh Viet spoke at the discussion group on the Draft Law on Land (amended).

About principles, basis of land valuation method Article 158 stipulates that this is not clear and does not ensure the full and comprehensive institutional requirements of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW. Regarding the land price list, it is recommended to specify in the law the development and application of the land price list because this is a component of the land price determination mechanism as stated in Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW. The Land Price Appraisal Council shall review the composition of the council to improve expertise and ensure independence between the valuation agency, the valuation agency and the land price decision-making agency. Clearly define the functions, tasks and responsibilities of the council; the process, procedures and time for land price appraisal. Assess the feasibility of the regulation that the People's Committees at the provincial and district levels invite independent experts to participate in the council and must be responsible for the appraisal results according to the provisions of law. Separate the decision-making authority; the basis, criteria and responsibilities of the Land Price Appraisal Council; The relationship between the authority of the Valuation Council and the authority to decide on land prices of the People's Committee and land valuation and consultancy organizations.

Regarding the basis for determining land prices at Point d, Clause 2, Article 158, which stipulates "Other factors affecting land prices", delegates expressed concern because this provision is unclear and may cause many risks and complications. Therefore, they suggested that the Drafting Committee consider whether to remove it or not so that localities can apply it more easily in practice.
