Delegates participating in the discussion at group 8

Commenting on the socio-economic report for the first 6 months of the year of the Provincial People's Committee, delegates all agreed that: in the last 6 months of the year, some targets are still too high (industrial value is 1.6 times higher than the first 6 months, service value is 1.5 times higher...). However, the solutions for implementation are general, there is no major breakthrough to be able to achieve the set targets.

Delegate Nguyen Bang Toan (Nghi Loc district) chaired the discussion at group 8.

Delegate Pham Van Tan (Quynh Luu district) said that the report should include an assessment of the general difficulties of enterprises and each type of enterprise; determine the potential impact and conditions of the province through policy mechanisms for enterprises of the province. Mr. Tan also requested the Provincial People's Committee to strengthen the direction of the implementation of the Law on Cooperatives (amended) in 2012 because currently in Nghe An, the speed of converting cooperative models according to the requirements of the Law on Cooperatives is very slow.

Delegate Nguyen Dinh Minh (Quynh Luu district) expressed concern about the slow return of initial investment in rural power grid substations. Meanwhile, in Quynh Luu district in particular and many other localities in general, the rural power grid is currently in a state of degradation, many places are seriously degraded, unsafe in operation and need to be renovated to meet the needs of rural economic development. However, for a long time, cooperatives have not fully recorded their investments, so it is very difficult to evaluate assets to hand over the sale of electricity to the electricity industry. Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee needs to consult with relevant ministries and branches to find solutions to this difficulty.

Meanwhile, delegate Nguyen Phan Phuong (Nghi Loc district) said that market management is still lax. The whole province has only one market management team, the human resources are still limited, the sanctions are still inadequate, while market management has not promoted the role and responsibility of district and commune authorities. Therefore, there needs to be specific policies, mobilizing the participation of authorities at all levels to improve the effectiveness of fighting against smuggled, fake, counterfeit and poor quality goods - a problem that is causing much frustration in society today.

Delegate Nguyen Phan Phuong said that there should be a mechanism to mobilize the participation of district and commune authorities in market management work.

Regarding the draft resolution of the Provincial People's Council, delegates focused on providing opinions on equipping means for commune police and on population and family planning work. Regarding the Resolution on equipping means for commune police, delegate Pham Van Tan said that the regulation on being allowed to equip motorbikes, photocopiers, fax machines, beds, etc. should be removed. This opinion received the agreement of the majority of delegates in the group. Regarding the Resolution on Population and Family Planning work, delegate Ho Phuc Hop (Quynh Luu) said that it is necessary to review and re-evaluate the effectiveness of the regulation on rewarding communes that have not had a third child for 3 years or more, because in reality it is not applicable. Instead, there should be a reward mechanism for blocks, hamlets, villages, and hamlets that have not had a third child for 4 years or more.

Regarding the allowance for commune-level forestry officers, most delegates agreed with the opinion of delegate Hoang Viet Duong (Nghi Loc) that the allowance of 200,000 VND/person/month approved in 2000 is too low, no longer suitable to the actual requirements of the task. The new allowance level proposed in the draft (632,500 VND/person/month for border communes and especially difficult areas, 402,500 VND/person/month for the remaining localities) will have the effect of motivating commune-level forestry officers to improve their sense of responsibility in forest management and protection.

Delegate Hoang Viet Duong affirmed the allowance level.200 thousand VND/person/month currently for commune forestry staffis too low, no longer suitable for actual task requirements
