Many practical contributions
Considering that the issuance of the Decree supplementing and amending Decree No. 45 at this time is very necessary, Mr. Dang Viet Phuong - Deputy Director of Phu Tho Department of Industry and Trade - suggested that from 2025, the Minister of Industry and Trade will be approved by the National Industrial Promotion Program, so on the local side, will the Department of Industry and Trade be approved by the Local Industrial Promotion Program? Currently, the Local Industrial Promotion Program must be approved by the People's Committee or People's Council.
“ An important point, the Ministry of Industry and Trade approved the National Industrial Promotion Program, but does the Ministry of Finance have the funding and how to solve this problem? ”, the leader of the Phu Tho Department of Industry and Trade wondered.

Mr. Dang Viet Phuong also said that in the context of deep economic integration, support programs are easily caught up in anti-subsidy regulations. Therefore, the local Department of Industry and Trade should consult the Department of Trade Defense to remove potentially accused words in the Draft Decree.
Regarding the organizational apparatus for implementing industrial promotion tasks, Mr. Nguyen Van Dac - Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Son La - expressed that the organization for implementing industrial promotion tasks in Son La has been transferred to the Provincial People's Committee. The Draft Decree does not have any regulations on this subject, if promulgated, Son La will have difficulty arranging to implement industrial promotion work.
Clause 7, Article 1 stipulates policies to support industrial clusters and relocate polluting establishments to industrial clusters. Decree No. 32/2024/ND-CP on Management of Industrial Cluster Development (Decree No. 32) has been issued, which stipulates support contents in industrial clusters and stipulates that the support level shall not exceed 30% of infrastructure investment.
“ The question is whether Clause 7, Article 1 of the Draft Decree is included in the provisions of Decree No. 32 or not, which needs to be clarified, ” Mr. Nguyen Van Dac suggested.

Mr. Pham Khac Nam - Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Bac Ninh also suggested that the word "rural" should be removed from the phrase "rural industrial establishments" because the Draft Decree does not limit the area. Moreover, many important technology enterprises such as supporting industrial enterprises are located in industrial parks, cities, wards and districts. If the rural industrial establishments are kept as such, it will no longer be appropriate.
At Point c, Clause 7, Article 4, it is stipulated that only supporting the relocation of establishments in craft villages in industrial clusters is provided, but it should be added that relocation out of planned industrial clusters would be more consistent with Decree No. 32.
