On the afternoon of June 7, under the chairmanship and direct management of Politburo member, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, the National Assembly continued to question a group of issues in the field of science and technology; problem group in the field of transportation.
Participating in questioning, National Assembly member Dang Bich Ngoc (Hoa Binh delegation) stated: In recent years, many registration centers have closed, causing frustration and difficulties for people and businesses. “Through contact with voters, there are many suggestions to create conditions to reopen registration centers. What solutions does the minister have to implement this problem soon?", asked National Assembly delegate Dang Bich Ngoc.
Responding to questions, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang said that up to now, only the registration centers of the two provinces, Hoa Binh and Bac Kan, have not yet returned to operation due to a lack of officers and registrars. . The Minister has directly worked with the locality and the Ministry also directly trained human resources introduced by the locality, who can take exams and issue certificates to hold the leadership position of the registration center.
As for the registrar, the Ministry of Transport has coordinated with the Department of Transport of Hoa Binh province to fully prepare, and is expected to reopen this registration center soon.
Concerned about this issue, Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang (Dak Nong delegation) argued: The Minister of Transport said that the registration of motor vehicles in the present time is not worrying. However, Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang said that the Minister's answer was only partially correct, with some current urgent solutions such as amending and promulgating Circular 08, extending the registration period for the current cycle. Registration of personal vehicles with less than 7 seats. According to the delegate, this is only an immediate solution.
Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang found that 75% of the current registration centers are made by non-state enterprises. When making an investment, the enterprise must recover the capital. However, with the current financial mechanism, it is very difficult for these enterprises to maintain registration centers.
Therefore, the delegate suggested that, in the coming time, there should be an innovation in the financial mechanism, creating conditions for non-state enterprises to register, this is the solution that can ensure the long-term. "And if we just stretch it out and keep the current financial mechanism, it's very unlikely that there are registration centers operated by non-state enterprises like now," Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang said.
Responding to the debate of Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang said that the incidents that occurred in the recent registration activities were very serious, causing great consequences, when Businesses and people have to wait to register.
The Minister emphasized that up to 600 leaders, civil servants, officials and registrars were prosecuted, out of 281 registration units, 106 registration centers had to close. Recently, the Ministry of Transport has closely coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security to focus on removing and restoring registration activities to serve people and businesses.
The Minister said that right from the time he took the job, he had made efforts to research and adjust the registration regulations to be in line with international practices, saving people time and costs. The Ministry is implementing remediation and restoration of registration activities, and at the same time, reviewing all registration activities to ensure modern, open and strict requirements.
The Ministry has issued Circular 02, which refers to the first exemption from registration and the extension of the registration period to conform to the regulations of countries in the region. The Ministry also issued legal documents to adjust when extending the registration period, it is not necessary to inspect the vehicle before issuing the inspection stamp. This has saved time for more than 1 million vehicles.
Minister Nguyen Van Thang also said that there are still some things to do to restore registration activities. The Ministry has coordinated with the Ministry of Finance to include in the draft Law on Prices to remove the registration price from the list of prices managed by the State, let the market decide, and ensure income for the inspectors. The Ministry is also focusing on recruiting and training registration officers to have enough force to re-arrange all registration centers, so that all registration lines when there are enough forces will return to normal operation. .
