The Central Inspection Commission issued Instruction No. 15, which removed points 8.1 and 8.2 in Clause 8, Section III (regulations on disciplining party members who violate population policy regulations). The two previously removed points include:

Point 8.1 "Violation due to the fact that implementing family planning measures will affect maternity health (with confirmation from a district-level hospital or equivalent or higher) will be considered for a reduced disciplinary level".

Point 8.2 "Violation due to intentional or forced failure to implement family planning will be considered for increased disciplinary action".

Instruction No. 15 adds point 8.3 in Clause 8, Section III as follows: Do not consider handling the behavior specified in Clause 2, Article 1 of Ordinance No. 08/2008/PL-UBTVQH12 dated December 27, 2008 amending Article 10 of the 2003 Population Ordinance "Giving birth to one or two children, except in special cases prescribed by the Government".
