Regarding the asset depreciation period and the period applied to calculate depreciation of the construction works used on the recovered land area of ​​Newkeys Company, Hai Lang district proposed that the Provincial People's Committee unify the application of the maximum depreciation period instead of applying the average depreciation period according to the law.

Regarding the time applied to calculate depreciation of used constructions, Hai Lang district said that after the land reclamation notice, Newkeys Company stopped operating since 2020 and did not build any more assets on the land, so it proposed that the Provincial People's Committee consider and decide on the time frame from 2020 to calculate depreciation.

There is still 0.723 km of land that has not been handed over to the investor of the Van Ninh - Cam Lo Expressway Project.

According to the report, the compensation and site clearance work of the Van Ninh - Cam Lo Expressway Project section passing through the province has so far completed compensation and payment of site clearance support money for more than 31.8/32.53 km, reaching 98.1%.

The remaining length of land that has not been handed over is 0.723 km in Gio Linh and Vinh Linh districts. The total number of households affected by resettlement is about 351, of which 176 households are resettled on the main highway route and 175 households are located on the service roads, road corridors and intersections that have not significantly affected the construction progress.

Currently, 163/176 households have been relocated along the main route. 9/9 resettlement areas have been basically completed and households are building houses in the resettlement areas.

Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Van Hung acknowledged the efforts of localities and the support of people in site clearance work to serve key national and provincial projects.

However, the site clearance work for the two projects My Thuy Port Area and Van Ninh - Cam Lo Expressway has not been implemented in a drastic and strong manner in accordance with the directive, leading to delays in handing over clean land to the investors.

Therefore, to ensure the construction progress of the projects, it is recommended that localities, departments and branches actively coordinate with investors, concentrate human resources, assign specific tasks, increase working time to resolve problems, and promptly hand over the site as planned.

In particular, for the My Thuy Port Project, agree with the proposals of departments, branches and Hai Lang district, and at the same time assign the Department of Finance to base on local guidelines to apply the maximum asset depreciation time frame and the applicable time to calculate depreciation of used works for Newkeys Company from the year 2020 to create consensus for the enterprise to hand over the site soon.

Hai Lang District must develop a plan for enforcement. In case Newkeys Company still does not agree to hand over the site after creating conditions to resolve the proposals, it must organize enforcement according to regulations.

Regarding the Van Ninh - Cam Lo Expressway Project, agree in principle and unify the proposals of localities on support policies for residential land and assets in the road corridor for people; assign the Department of Construction to research, propose, and guide localities in approving items on temporary toilets for temporary residence, sidewalks, trees... from the land acquisition fund; adjust the project estimate to add the investment item to reinforce the slope of the resettlement area...

Request MTIP and the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board to actively and diligently concentrate vehicles, machinery, and human resources to speed up the construction progress of projects on the handed-over land area. At the same time, issue a document proposing the Ministry of Transport to soon give opinions on the connection of the road to the resettlement area in Gio Linh district to the East branch of Ho Chi Minh Road. Determined to complete the site clearance before July 20, 2024 to hand over the entire land area to investors.
