Delegates expressed their opinions at the conference.

According to the report of the Provincial Steering Committee 389, in the first 6 months of 2025 (including the time before, during and after the Lunar New Year 2025), the production, trading of goods and provision of services in the province were quite bustling. Goods for sale were abundant and diverse in design, ensuring to serve the shopping needs of the people. The supply of petroleum products was sufficient to meet the production and consumption activities in the province.

Concluding the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Minh Canh - Head of the Provincial Steering Committee 389 highly appreciated the efforts of the Standing Agency and members of the Provincial Steering Committee 389 in implementing assigned tasks.

However, there are still some limitations that need to be addressed immediately after the conference. Counterfeit and poor quality goods are on the rise. Control of goods quality and financial obligations for e-commerce activities needs to be tighter. Enhance the effectiveness of coordination between forces. Each sector and field needs to address limitations in implementing activities. The Standing Agency is slow in perfecting its apparatus. The Standing Agency's operating budget is still difficult...

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Minh Canh suggested that, in the future, districts and inspectors still operating until the end of June 2025 need to focus on consolidating forces, performing well their tasks in the peak month of fighting to prevent and repel smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods in the new situation and infringement of intellectual property rights.

The two inspection teams jointly established by the Department of Industry and Trade need to immediately take action to carry out their tasks. Each sector has an inspection department involved, but they must ensure that there is no overlap with the two inspection teams jointly established by the Department of Industry and Trade. At the end of the peak month of the fight to prevent and repel smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods in the new situation and infringement of intellectual property rights, inspection activities to combat counterfeit, fake and poor quality goods will continue.

Provincial departments, branches, and district People's Committees should pay attention to managing conferences and seminars introducing and selling products that do not comply with regulations. While waiting for the Central Government's document, the Department of Justice will advise the Provincial People's Committee on handling violations related to poor quality goods.
