Regarding the reception and revision of the draft law, the National Assembly Chairman requested that agencies adhere to the viewpoints, objectives, and guiding principles as in the Program submitted to the National Assembly for approval. Along with that, through the survey, discussion, and workshop held recently, it is necessary to draw out any issues that need to be added to the draft law, and it is also necessary to adhere to the principles of law-making.
"We need to be very receptive, listen to opinions and recommendations from agencies, individuals, and subjects directly affected by the draft laws, and address issues that people and businesses see as remaining obstacles that need to be resolved to perfect the draft laws to ensure feasibility and meet practical requirements," the National Assembly Chairman stated.
