There are still difficulties and problems

After 3 years of implementing Resolution No. 18, Party committees, Party organizations and authorities at all levels have issued plans, organized the dissemination and institutionalization of the Resolution's viewpoints and orientations quite comprehensively. In particular, the 2024 Land Law and documents detailing the implementation of the law have basically institutionalized the contents of the Resolution, bringing about many positive impacts, creating a clearer legal basis, minimizing overlaps and inadequacies in land management; promptly resolving and removing difficulties and obstacles in practice and requirements of the development process; enhancing the efficiency of land resource use and management; promoting sustainable socio -economic development; better protecting people's rights.

In Khanh Hoa, after 3 years of implementing Resolution No. 18, the Party Committees, authorities, Fatherland Front and socio -political organizations of the province have focused on leading, directing, organizing the drastic, synchronous and effective implementation of the tasks and solutions set out in the resolution; fundamentally innovating and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of land management and use; contributing to calling for and attracting investment, creating motivation and leverage for the province's socio-economic development.

However, in the process of implementing land acquisition, compensation, support, resettlement; land allocation, land lease, land use purpose conversion; land use planning and planning; land price determination, land finance, etc., there are still some difficulties and problems that need to be amended and supplemented to suit the reality at the grassroots level. Although Resolution No. 18 has been institutionalized by the provisions of the 2024 Land Law, the legal system is still being adjusted and changed in many areas, lacking consistency in application. Speaking at the Khanh Hoa bridge, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nghiem Xuan Thanh said: “ Many projects are implemented through many different legal stages but lack clear transitional regulations, causing confusion for localities; causing time extension, arising procedures, slowing down project progress, etc. In particular, recently there have been quite a few violations related to land”.

At the conference, representatives of central ministries, branches, provinces and cities discussed many related contents, focusing on difficulties, limitations and obstacles, on that basis, proposing and recommending amendments to some contents to suit the current situation.

At the same time, it is proposed to add cases where the State reclaims land regardless of the source of investment capital; land recovery is one step ahead to prepare clean land for investment projects, especially urgent and key projects; land prices are decided by the State but still refer to market land prices and land prices proposed by consulting units; Adjustment rates, tax rates for business types and forms of organizations to be applied simultaneously with the application of land price lists, in order to regulate the added value from land, encourage investment in projects using land. Provincial Party Secretary Nghiem Xuan Thanh proposed to accelerate the progress of construction and operation of a unified, nationwide land database, reform administrative procedures; have an effective mechanism to handle slow-progressing projects, projects with long-term backlogs due to legal procedure problems, projects with inspection, examination, audit conclusions, and legally effective judgments to unify land resources, avoid waste...

At the same time, perfecting institutions, policies and laws on land; developing policies on exemption and reduction of land use fees in accordance with the actual conditions and investment attraction needs of each locality; perfecting legal provisions related to inspection, examination, settlement of complaints, denunciations and land disputes in accordance with the 2-level local government model; supplementing cases where the State reclaims land regardless of the investment capital source, land reclamation is one step ahead to prepare clean land for investment projects, especially urgent and key projects...
