The dispatch stated that considering the proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment on promulgating regulations on the roadmap for applying national technical regulations on exhaust emissions of motorbikes and scooters participating in road traffic, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha assigned the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to preside over and coordinate with the Ministries and agencies: Public Security, Justice, Construction, Industry and Trade, Science and Technology, Hanoi People's Committee, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and relevant agencies and units to carefully review the draft Decision to ensure feasibility.
