The 2014 Law and Ordinance Drafting Program will be carefully reviewed.
Only projects with clearly explained justifications for their necessity and target audience should be included in the 2014 Program.
The National Assembly's legislative and ordinance drafting program for 2014 will be carefully considered. This was an important point presented by Phan Trung Ly, a member of the National Assembly Standing Committee and Chairman of the National Assembly's Law Committee, at the National Assembly on the morning of May 23rd, regarding the draft legislative and ordinance drafting program for 2014.
To date, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly has received proposals for the 2014 legislative and ordinance drafting program, including: 55 proposals from the Government, comprising 53 draft laws and 2 draft ordinances; 2 proposals from the Supreme People's Procuracy; 3 proposals from the Supreme People's Court and 1 draft ordinance; and 7 proposals from the Economic Committee.
Overview of the National Assembly session
The National Assembly delegations proposed the following: Da Nang city proposed 3 draft laws; Soc Trang province proposed 36 draft laws and 2 draft ordinances; Quang Nam province proposed 1 draft law. The National Assembly delegates proposed 14 draft laws.
Among the aforementioned projects, many were proposed by agencies and National Assembly deputies in overlapping ways. According to proposals from agencies and individuals, the number of draft laws and ordinances proposed for inclusion in the 2014 Law and Ordinance Drafting Program is excessive compared to the preparation capacity and time constraints of the submitting agencies, the reviewing agencies, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, and the National Assembly's capacity to consider and approve them.
To ensure the feasibility of the Program and avoid excessive adjustments, the consideration and decision to include projects in the 2014 Law and Ordinance Drafting Program must be carefully considered, clearly defining the necessity, scope, subjects of regulation, and basic contents of the project, as well as the necessary conditions to ensure drafting, commenting on, and submitting for consideration and approval.
The Standing Committee of the National Assembly believes that the drafting of the 2014 legislative and ordinance program must adhere to several basic orientations: Prioritize the inclusion in the 2014 program of projects aimed at promptly institutionalizing the documents of the 11th National Congress of the Party; the resolutions of the Central Committee and the Politburo; prioritize the inclusion in the 2014 program of projects directly related to the provisions of the Constitution; and projects serving economic restructuring and improving the investment and business environment.
Only projects with clearly explained justifications regarding the necessity of their issuance, scope of regulation, target audience, and basic contents will be included in the 2014 Program; projects that do not meet all the conditions stipulated in the Law on the Promulgation of Legal Normative Documents will be resolutely excluded from the Program.
The inclusion of projects in the 2014 Program must take into account the available time and the practical capabilities of the drafting and reviewing agencies to avoid overloading a single agency, thereby ensuring the quality and progress of project preparation.
For new projects proposed for inclusion in the Program of the 13th National Assembly term, additions should only be made when absolutely necessary, in line with the orientation of the Program as mentioned in the Resolution on the Program for drafting laws and ordinances of the 13th National Assembly term, and when they have been well prepared and fully meet the conditions stipulated in the Law on the promulgation of legal normative documents.
Do not include a list of preparatory programs in the annual legislative and ordinance drafting program. For all projects already included in the 13th National Assembly's program that have not yet been considered or approved, the agencies and organizations assigned to draft and submit them must have a plan for active preparation and, when conditions are met, propose to the National Assembly and the Standing Committee of the National Assembly to consider including them in the annual program for comments and approval.
