On February 25, in Hanoi, Politburo member and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh - Head of the Steering Committee for Waste Prevention and Control - chaired the first meeting of the Steering Committee, according to VNA.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Prime Minister pointed out that the work of preventing and combating waste is of special concern to the Party and State, as one of the important factors to increase the strength of resources, ensure social security, promote development, and enrich the country, especially in the new revolutionary period.
In recent times, the Government has also issued many directives and drastic actions to remove difficulties and obstacles, resolve bottlenecks, and waste economic resources.
In particular, the Government has established a Steering Committee to review and remove difficulties and obstacles related to institutions and mechanisms; resolve bottlenecks that waste resources of the economy, especially remove difficulties and obstacles related to land projects, renewable energy, strengthen management, improve the efficiency of house and land use in state-owned enterprises, mandatory transfer of 4 weak commercial banks, handle all 12 previously lost and ineffective projects of the Industry and Trade sector.
The work that has been and is being done recently has achieved positive results, initially contributing to the fight against waste.
However, the Prime Minister said that, besides the achieved results, there is still much work to be done because waste is quite common in many different forms and forms.
This has caused many serious consequences for development, especially in areas such as financial management, credit, public assets, public investment, land, mineral resources, state capital management at enterprises, labor management and working time.
The above limitations are one of the reasons for the decline in human resources, financial resources, reduced production efficiency, increased cost burden, resource depletion, and increased gap between rich and poor.
Waste also reduces people's trust in the Party and State, creates invisible barriers in socio-economic development, and misses development opportunities for the country.
Therefore, the Government has established a Steering Committee for Waste Prevention to resolve and completely handle bottlenecks that cause loss and waste of economic resources, creating new changes, having a strong influence on this work.
The Prime Minister requested the Steering Committee to review the implemented work, the achieved results, difficulties, limitations and causes, lessons to serve as a basis for proposing tasks and solutions for the coming time; especially the removal of difficulties and obstacles for long-standing projects to promptly resolve them completely and free up resources for the economy.
