Attending the conference were representatives of the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance, the Department of Cooperatives - Ministry of Planning and Investment, the National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An Province, the Provincial People's Council, and representatives of departments, branches and cooperatives in the province.
Representatives of cooperatives participated in contributing ideas at the conference.
At the conference, the Provincial Cooperative Union and its member cooperatives focused their minds on discussing and contributing ideas to the Draft Law on Cooperatives Amendment. In Article 8, Section 4 on economic connection of members with cooperatives and the Cooperative Union, it is necessary to supplement it in accordance with Article 49, Chapter V.
Specifically: members are entitled to the remaining income according to the level of use of products and services and according to the capital contribution. Article 9, section 1, proposed to be revised: only according to the charter and production and business plan of the cooperative, the Union of Cooperatives. Do not set out the Government's guidance (applicable to both section 1, clause g, article 17). Article 10, section 7: This provision is not consistent with the statistical accounting regime and the method of calculating costs, production and business costs of services and finance. If it is possible to calculate this income separately, it will be stipulated in the accounting and income distribution method of the cooperative charter without adjusting the Cooperative Law. In addition, there are opinions to amend and supplement a number of other chapters and articles, etc.
At the conference, the Provincial Cooperative Union and its member cooperatives also recommended that the Provincial National Assembly Delegation study the contributions and reflections to have opinions for discussion and approval of the Law on Cooperatives (amended) at the upcoming XIII National Assembly sessions. At the same time, in the process of monitoring production and business activities, organizing the implementation of the Law on Cooperatives and strengthening the cooperative organization according to the Resolution of the Central Party Committee and the Government on the collective economic sector and types of cooperatives in Nghe An province, it is recommended to have monitoring and inspection activities with sectors and localities on the implementation of the task of developing the collective economy (with the core being cooperatives), in order to further develop the collective economic sector of the province.
