Workshop examines Cooperative law
A two-day workshop on ways to
improve the management of trade co-operatives ended on March 7 in the
central province of Quang Nam's Tam Ky town.
The workshop aimed to highlight German experiences in improving
management of co-operatives for the benefit of Vietnamese experts who
are considering proposed changes to regulations on co-operatives.
The Vietnam Cooperative Alliance's deputy chairman Nguyen Xuan Hien
said participants had addressed the drawbacks in Vietnam's
cooperative alliance system.
Christian Albrecht, an audit
expert from Germany 's Cooperative and Raiffeisen Confederation
(DGRV), said reformed co-operatives needed to be highly market-oriented
while also acting as a group that represents each member's rights.
"Only by that way of operation, can fairness be achieved in a co-operative," said Albrecht.
He said lawmakers should streamline procedures and regulations to
stimulate the development of co-operatives while also ensuring labour
rights.
The workshop was jointly hosted by the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance and DGRV./.
