Strengthening monitoring of improper land use

(Baonghean.vn)- Nghe An voters requested the National Assembly to strengthen supervision and recommend competent authorities to synchronously deploy solutions, overcome and strictly handle cases of land use for improper purposes, projects and works that are slow to be implemented according to plan, and illegal, causing people to have no land for production. Meanwhile, land in these areas is abandoned and used ineffectively.

Reply:

The Land Law passed by the National Assembly at the 6th session of the 13th National Assembly (November 29, 2013) has been amended with many important contents, including strict regulations on the contents raised by voters. Specifically:

- Article 12 stipulates prohibited acts, including Clause 2 "violating announced land use planning and plans" and Clause 3 "not using land or using land for the wrong purpose";

- Article 64 stipulates land recovery due to violations of land laws in cases of "Using land for purposes other than those assigned, leased, or recognized by the State for land use rights and having been administratively sanctioned for violations of land laws".

"Land used for the wrong purpose and continued to violate" (point a, clause 1) and "Land allocated or leased by the State to implement an investment project but not used for 12 consecutive months or the land use progress is 24 months behind the progress recorded in the investment project from the date of receiving the land handover on site must be put into use..." (point i, clause 1);

- Article 208 on the responsibilities of Chairmen of People's Committees at all levels stipulates (1) "Chairmen of People's Committees at all levels are responsible for detecting, preventing and promptly handling violations of laws on land management and use in the locality"; and (2) "Chairmen of People's Committees at the commune level are responsible for detecting, preventing and promptly handling illegal transfers of land use rights and illegal changes of land use purposes; detecting and applying measures to promptly prevent and handle the construction of works on encroached land, occupied land, land used for the wrong purpose in the locality and forcing violators to restore the land to its condition before the violation".

Thus, the issue raised by voters has been clearly and strictly regulated in the Land Law (2013). However, taking into account the opinions of voters of Nghe An province, the Economic Committee will study, consider and give opinions on this content when the National Assembly discusses the Supervision Program in the coming time.
