This morning (May 18), the Politburo and the Secretariat held a national conference to disseminate and implement Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW, dated April 30, 2025 of the Politburo on innovating the work of law-making and enforcement to meet the requirements of national development in the new era and Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW, dated May 4, 2025 of the Politburo on private economic development (PDI).
Presenting the topic at the Conference, Politburo member and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that the Resolution sets out 8 groups of tasks and solutions demonstrating the spirit of innovation, breakthrough, and strong reform, ensuring close adherence to 3 strategic breakthroughs (on institutions, human resources, infrastructure) and in the total 4 important Resolutions of the Politburo.
The core content of the 8 groups of tasks and solutions is to solve the most important and urgent problems for the current development of IT.
In particular, promoting reform, perfecting, improving the quality of institutions and policies, ensuring and effectively protecting ownership rights, property rights, freedom of business, equal competition rights of corporate bonds and ensuring the implementation of corporate bonds' contracts.
This task group and solution aims to thoroughly and effectively resolve institutional problems, not to let institutions continue to be "bottlenecks of bottlenecks", but to be a driving force to strongly promote the development of the State Audit Office.
The spirit is to innovate the thinking of law-making and enforcement; remove administrative barriers, the "request - give" mechanism, the thinking of "if you can't manage, then ban"; thoroughly overcome the situation of conflict, overlap, and lack of consistency between ministries, branches, and localities.
In particular, clearly defining criminal liability for administrative and civil matters to strengthen the confidence of businesses and entrepreneurs, and promote the development of ITs.
According to the Prime Minister, it is necessary to comply with the principle of clearly defining criminal liability for administrative and civil matters; between legal entities and individuals in handling violations.
Ensure the principle of handling violations and incidents related to civil and economic issues, prioritizing the application of civil, economic and administrative measures first, allowing proactive remediation of violations and damages.
In cases where the practical application of the law may lead to criminal proceedings or not criminal proceedings, the decision is not to apply criminal proceedings. In cases where criminal proceedings are at the level of criminal proceedings, priority will be given to measures to remedy economic consequences first and will be an important basis for considering further handling measures.
Not reciting legal regulations to handle disadvantages for businesses. Ensure the principle of presumption of innocence in the investigation and trial of cases.
Ensure the value of sealing, seizure, temporary detention, and release corresponding to the expected consequences of damage in the case.
Clearly distinguish legally formed assets from assets obtained from illegal acts and other assets related to the case; minimize the impact on production and business activities.
