On September 9, information from the Ministry of Justice, this agency organized a meeting of the Appraisal Council for the revised Land Law project.
According to the report at the meeting, the draft revised Land Law is built with an expected layout of 13 chapters; a reduction of 3 chapters compared to the 2024 Land Law.
In which, the draft Law is completed in the direction of not detailing land classification, specifically, land is divided into 3 groups, including: (i) Agricultural land group: Cultivable land (rice land, other crop land), forestry land; concentrated livestock land, aquaculture land; other agricultural land; (ii) Non-agricultural land group: National defense and security land; residential land; agency headquarters land, public works; public land; non-agricultural production and business land; religious and belief land; (iii) Development reserve land. The completion of regulations on land classification aims to overcome difficulties and obstacles arising in the practice of implementing the Land Law in the past time.
Concluding the meeting, Deputy Minister of Justice Nguyen Thanh Tu said that, based on the opinions of the Appraisal Council, the draft Law needs to continue to be studied, reviewed and comprehensively completed.
According to the Deputy Minister, first of all, it is necessary to review the scope of regulation in the direction of directly focusing on issues related to land, and at the same time clearly handle the application relationship between this Law and other laws. This is an issue that needs to be clarified right from the construction process to limit conflicts, overlaps and obstacles that may arise in practice.
Referring to administrative procedures and internal procedures, the Deputy Minister emphasized that promoting decentralization and delegation of power must be linked to a mechanism to ensure uniformity in implementation. For procedures of the same type, if not originating from specific requirements, it is necessary to ensure uniform implementation nationwide. The delegation of power to localities must be designed appropriately, thereby limiting additional costs and procedures.
