The government’s law-building session on April 10 |
As of April 8, there were more than 12 million opinions on the draft revised Land Law, mostly on compensation, assistance for resettlement, land handover, land leasing, changes of land use purposes, and land planning, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
Government members scrutinized some major issues of public concern and debatable ones, including cases of land revocation for socio-economic development, compensation and resettlement assistance in revocation cases, land handover and leasing, and land prices.
Regarding the N.A. Standing Committee’s comments on the draft revised Housing Law, they discussed the regulations on the apartment ownership duration, the right to use land with housing owned by foreigners, land use for commercial housing development, the social housing policy, and housing for members of armed forces.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said the draft revised Land Law includes many difficult, complex, and sensitive contents that have widespread influence, so it is necessary to be extremely prudent and absorb the most of people’s opinions to ensure the draft matches the reality and does not overlap or contrast specialized laws.
Adjustments to the draft must maximize land resources to serve development; guarantee harmonious interests of the State, people, and enterprises; increase power decentralization and resource allocation; clearly regulate the scope of power of each level of authorities and each sector; boost examination, supervision, and control of power; and minimize administrative procedures to facilitate people and enterprises’ access to land, he demanded.
Meanwhile, he asked officials to analyze both the strong and weak points of draft amendments to the Housing Law and clarify the government’s viewpoint on the chosen plan.
The government leader told relevant ministries and sectors to continue taking in comments and perfect the drafts.
