Thanh said that since the NA supervision group was form onJuly 27, 2021, it has worked with 11 ministries and 14 provinces and centrally-runcities in both in-person and online forms.

Since the Planning Law was adopted in 2007, the NA hasapproved seven related laws and the NA Standing Committee has issued oneordinance. Meanwhile, the Government has issued 43 decrees, while ministriesand branches released 96 guiding circulars.

In addition, in order to ensure the smooth implementation ofthe Planning Law, the NA, NA Standing Committee, the Government and the PrimeMinister have issued many documents related to planning work. The PrimeMinister also held three national online conferences on planning, he noted.

Thanh underlined that the planning progress for the 2021-2030 period is laggingfar behind from the NA’s request and reality. Among 111 planning schemes to be made in line with the law, 104 have yet to be completed and approved, affecting the implementationof the socio-economic plans for the 2021-2025 and 2021-2040 period. Due to theslow progress, the validity of existing planning schemes for the 2011-2020 period has beenextended, leading to the parallel existence of two types of planning and causingdifficulties during the implementation.

The Chairman of the NA Economic Committee held that there are many subjectiveand objective reasons behind the situation, including the slow, incomprehensiveand incomplete issuance of documents guiding the implementation of the law.

On the foundation of the supervision results, thesupervision team gave a number of proposals to deal with current difficultiesin the work, improve the quality and speed up the progress of planning work.

It recommends that the NA allows the Government and relevantagencies to make decision on issues that have yet to be included or made coherent inthe Planning Law and relevant laws in order to speed up the design and approval ofplanning in the 2021-2030 period until the Planning Law is revised.

The Government should work to improve the nationalplanning database and quicken the updating and sharing of information, whileensuring no more administrative procedures are made to cause difficulties forbusinesses, it said.

Regarding solutions in the medium and long terms, the Government should comprehensivelyreview the implementation of the Planning Law and other related laws and legaldocuments, thus proposing amendments and supplements to them in order to meetthe requirements of State management over planning work, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the legal system./.
