Abolish many procedures in the field of fire prevention and fighting

On June 5, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed a Decision approving a plan to reduce and simplify regulations related to business activities under the management of the Ministry of Public Security in two areas: Management of conditional investment and business sectors and occupations regarding security and order; Fire prevention and fighting.

Eliminate many procedures

For the group of procedures on fire prevention and fighting, approval of fire prevention and fighting designs carried out at the central and provincial levels, the regulation on submitting a Certificate of eligibility for fire prevention and fighting service business of the fire prevention and fighting design consultancy unit is abolished.

Businesses are relieved of the burden of fire prevention and fighting procedures.

At the same time, the regulation of submitting a copy of the Design Approval Certificate, Design Approval Document, and Design Documents previously stamped with Fire Prevention and Fighting Approval Seal is abolished. The reason is that the police agency exploits the management records themselves.

The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Public Security and relevant ministries and branches within their authority to be responsible for implementing plans to reduce and simplify the above regulations.

During the implementation process, the Ministry of Public Security shall proactively detect and promptly amend, supplement, replace or abolish relevant regulations under its authority.

Or the Ministry of Public Security shall propose in writing to the Ministry of Justice and the Government Office for laws, decrees of the Government, decisions of the Prime Minister with provisions related to business activities that need to be amended, supplemented, replaced or abolished, or cancelled to implement the reduction and simplification plan.

Strengthen "post-control"

In the field of management of investment and business sectors with conditions on security and order such as issuing new certificates of eligibility for security and order at the central, provincial and district levels, the regulation requiring submission of a "valid copy" of one of the five types of documents is abolished: Business registration certificate; enterprise registration certificate; investment registration certificate; certificate of registration of operation of branches and affiliated units of enterprises; certificate of business household registration.

Along with that, this regulation is added in the request document of the organization providing basic information about the above types of certificates to have a basis for checking and comparing.

The reason is that when connecting and exploiting information from the national database on business registration, the police agency can exploit the above information.

For administrative procedures such as issuing and changing certificates of eligibility for security and order at the central, provincial and district levels; reissuing certificates of eligibility for security and order at the central, provincial and district levels, information about the issued certificates of eligibility for security and order must be supplemented in the "document requesting the issuance and changing of certificates of eligibility for security and order of business establishments".

For cases that have been granted a paper certificate of eligibility for security and order according to Decree No. 96/2016, a paper copy must be submitted for revocation when carrying out the reissuance procedure.

The reason is that the business establishment needs to provide information on the certificate of eligibility for security and order in the request document, the police agency conducts a search and checks the archived records.

In case of being granted a certificate of eligibility for security and order (paper copy), submit it to the police agency for revocation when carrying out the reissuance procedure.

This is to prevent leasing, lending or disputes over legal status related to certificates of eligibility for security and order and affecting the management of industries and professions with conditions for security and order.

Regarding security and order conditions for pawnshop business, the regulation that the person responsible for security and order of the pawnshop business must have a permanent residence registration of at least 5 years in the commune, ward or town where the business location is registered is abolished.

The reason is that currently, the population database has been regularly updated to ensure that the data is "correct, complete, clean, and alive". The simplification of regulations is in line with the policy of the Government and the Prime Minister, creating favorable conditions for people and businesses.

State management agencies reduce and simplify "pre-inspection" procedures, strengthen "post-inspection", and improve efficiency in management work.

In addition, in practice, there have been cases where people who want to conduct pawnbroking business but do not meet the condition of having 5 years of permanent residence to carry out this procedure have "hired local people" to register their business, causing many difficulties and inadequacies in management work.

The above-mentioned procedure reduction plans are scheduled to be implemented from 2023.
