Presiding over the September thematic session on law-making in Hanoi, Prime Minister Hung said the Government plans to submit 45 draft laws and resolutions, focusing on areas currently facing significant obstacles, such as the budget, investment, taxation, land, housing, real estate business, and the organization of criminal investigation agencies.
Despite the tight schedule, the law-making process must be thorough, coherent, and feasible, he said, adding that efforts should focus on removing bottlenecks, unlocking resources, and creating new avenues for development, while eliminating parochial mindsets and vested interests.
The PM directed that only issues that are clear and have been validated by practical experience should be codified into law; "ask-and-give" mechanisms must be avoided, business conditions and compliance costs reduced, and burdens must not be shifted onto citizens and businesses.
Regulatory guidelines must be prepared and issued in a timely manner, while the process of gathering feedback from businesses, experts, and affected parties must be substantive and open-minded, contributing to the finetuning of a coherent and modern legal system, PM Hung added.
