DIRECTIVE
ON CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESOLUTION OF THE 5TH PLENUM OF THE PARTY CENTRAL
COMMITTEE (IXTH CONGRESS) ON COLLECTIVE ECONOMY
After more than one
year's implementating March 18, 2002 Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW of the fifth
plenum of the Party Central Committee (IXth Congress) on further renewing,
developing, and raising the efficiency of, collective economy and the
Government's Action Program promulgated together with Decision No.
94/2002/QD-TTg of July 17, 2002, the ministries, branches and localities have
made numerous efforts to study, institutionalize and promulgate a number of
specific mechanisms and policies in order to remove difficulties and problems
and to create favorable conditions for collective economy to further develop.
Many cooperative models have been formed, effectively operated, actively contributing
to the process of economic restructuring, agricultural and rural
industrialization and modernization.
Nevertheless, the
propagation and study of the Resolution have not yet been carried out
thoroughly and extensively as required. The promulgation of guiding documents
remains slow and the contents of some documents remain inappropriate. The
specialized management apparatus and the contingent of State management
officials in the ministries, branches and localities in charge of cooperatives
still reveal many constraints. The organization and direction of the overcoming
of weaknesses in the sector of collective economy have not yet been
concentrated, failing to bring about substantial changes as required by the
Resolution.
In order to strongly
accelerate the implementation of the Resolution of the 5th plenum of the Party
Central Committee (IXth Congress) on collective economy, the Prime Minister
requests:
1. The concerned
ministries and branches and the People's Committees of the provinces and
centrally-run cities:
- To further and
regularly organize the wide propagation and thorough study in their respective
branches or localities in order to raise the knowledge about the position, role
and objectivity of the development of collective economy; build up models and
sum up, popularize and apply widely good models; to regard the development of
collective economy as one of the key political tasks of their units and assign
specific responsibilities for implementation leadership and direction.
- Within the ambit of
their respective functions, tasks and powers, to coordinate with Vietnam Union
of Cooperatives and Vietnam Peasants' Association in expeditiously
accomplishing the tasks assigned in Decision No. 94/2002/QD-TTg of July 17,
2002. In the meantime to work out plans for monitoring, urging and examining,
and organize the preliminary review of, the implementation of the Resolution,
supplement in time measures to further renew, develop, and raise the efficiency
of, collective economy.
