The state focuses on "post-control, post-control and post-control"

Discussing at Group 11, including the National Assembly delegations of Can Tho city and Dien Bien province, National Assembly delegates emphasized that the Investment Law (amended) needs to be designed in the direction of strengthening post-audit. "Enterprises only need to notify and commit to meeting all standards and conditions to be able to start operating. State agencies focus on post-audit, post-audit and post-audit".

Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Can Tho City Nguyen Tuan Anh chaired the discussion session.

The law needs to be designed to strengthen post-auditing.

Discussing the draft Law on Investment (amended) this afternoon, November 11, National Assembly Deputy Dao Chi Nghia ( Can Tho ) especially welcomed the decentralization spirit of the draft Law; agreed with the thorough decentralization, in which the National Assembly's authority is transferred to the Government and the Prime Minister; said that this will speed up the implementation of projects.

In addition, delegate Dao Chi Nghia also fully agreed with the legalization and expansion of special investment procedures in Article 29, allowing exemption from investment approval procedures, technology appraisal and construction permits for high-tech and strategic technology projects; emphasizing that this is a breakthrough in the amended Investment Law this time.

Commenting on Article 4 (application of the Investment Law and related laws), delegates said that although the law has handled some overlaps with related laws, clearer regulations are needed. Delegates suggested that a priority regulation for the Investment Law on procedures should be established. Accordingly, it is proposed to add a clause at the end of Article 4, clearly stating: "In case of differences between the Investment Law and other related laws on procedures for approving investment policies..., the provisions of the Investment Law will be implemented".

In Article 7 of the draft Law on conditional business lines, delegate Nguyen Van Quan suggested that it should be designed in the direction of announcing business conditions, or the decree should be specific on this issue, that is, the State and Government announce business conditions and investment conditions so that enterprises only need to register and have a commitment to send to the competent authority, without having to ask for permission or license.

The advantages of this, according to the delegate, are first of all, eliminating the mechanism of asking for permission; second, increasing the responsibility of enterprises because when the investment and business conditions are announced, enterprises will base on the conditions, if they meet the conditions, they only need to register and announce; third , avoiding harassment; fourth, reducing administrative procedures; fifth, reducing costs and time for enterprises, organizations and individuals.

At the same time, delegates also proposed to strengthen post-inspection by professional agencies and state management agencies.

In fact, recently, the procedures for granting business eligibility certificates took a lot of time. We are very strict on the input . But in the production and business process, some enterprises did not comply with and did not follow the license, did not follow the standards and criteria that the eligibility certificate had issued. Our post-audit role in some areas has been weak in the past. The input for granting eligibility was done very well, very strict, but the implementation process was different.

"Therefore, I hope the Law will be designed in the direction of strengthening post-inspection. Post-inspection is optimal and most effective. Enterprises only need to notify and commit to meeting all standards and conditions to be able to operate. State agencies only need to post-inspection, post-inspection, post-inspection and post-inspection," the delegate emphasized.

Agreeing on the need to strengthen post-inspection, National Assembly Deputy To Ai Vang (Can Tho) made four proposals: first, before the project begins, state management agencies should focus on developing clear regulations and standards and strengthen inspection, examination and supervision during and after the project goes into operation to ensure compliance with the law, quality and safety.

Second, the Management Boards of industrial parks and economic zones, in licensing, managing and supervising investment projects in their areas, shall review and abolish unnecessary and no longer suitable business conditions to facilitate businesses; the remaining conditions must be publicly announced transparently so that investors can easily understand and comply with the provisions of law.

Third, build a national investment information system to connect and share data among relevant agencies. This helps monitor and manage investment projects nationwide effectively and quickly, and reduces the need for investors to re-provide other documents. Provide training and development to improve the professional qualifications and public ethics of civil servants working in investment management, along with enhancing the responsibility of leaders in cutting administrative procedures.

Fourth, for large-scale projects that have an impact on the environment, national defense and security, or use large amounts of state budget capital, there needs to be a special control mechanism and careful appraisal (pre-inspection) to avoid risks and losses.

"If we synchronously apply the above mechanisms, especially shifting the focus from pre-control to post-control and decentralizing management to achieve the goal of both tightly managing risks and creating an open investment environment, while reducing the burden of administrative procedures for businesses, it is extremely necessary in the current conditions," delegate To Ai Vang emphasized.

Will continue to drastically cut down on conditional industries

The 2022 Investment Law currently has about 230 conditional business lines. To promote the freedom of business of people and businesses, create an open environment, and attract foreign investors, delegate To Ai Vang also suggested that the Government strengthen direction and assign specific management responsibilities so that assigned ministries and branches can proactively and regularly review and propose to abolish or amend investment and business conditions in the list of conditional business lines.

Regarding the prohibited investment and business sectors in Article 6, delegates also requested the Government to specifically assign relevant ministries and branches to closely monitor market developments to propose a list of prohibited investment and business sectors to submit to the National Assembly for timely amendment and supplementation.

Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang, National Assembly member of Dien Bien province, said that the draft Law has reviewed and cut about 25 conditional business investment sectors, however, this result is not enough. Emphasizing the need to "continue to review and strongly cut this list", the Minister also said that he will chair a separate meeting on this content to report to the Government because this is "a very necessary thing to do".
