The latest announcement on the agenda of the 26th session of the National Assembly Standing Committee issued by the National Assembly Office no longer includes comments on the draft law on Special Administrative-Economic Units (special zones) as previously planned.
Discussing this, Secretary General of the National Assembly Nguyen Hanh Phuc said that the draft law is "being reconsidered".
Mr. Nguyen Hanh Phuc emphasized that the bill is being carefully considered, continuing to listen to and absorb people's opinions. There is still time for the Government to edit and complete it, because the 6th session of the National Assembly will take place in 2 months.
"The timing of when the National Assembly will consider the draft law depends on the results of the process of receiving public opinions and voters' opinions. In short, it is very cautious," said the Secretary General of the National Assembly.
This is a fairly new development because a day ago, in the document assigning Government members to prepare the content of the meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee (26th session, from August 8-13), Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc still assigned the Minister of Planning and Investment to coordinate with the Supervisory Delegation to report to the National Assembly Standing Committee on the implementation of policies and laws on management and use of foreign loans in the 2011-2016 period; coordinate in preparing reports on a number of issues with different opinions in the draft Law on Special Administrative-Economic Units.
