Deputy Prime Minister explains
Explaining and clarifying this content, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Le Thanh Long affirmed: will carefully study the comments to absorb, explain and complete the draft law to submit to the National Assembly for consideration and approval at the next session.
Regarding the regulation prohibiting advertising in the draft Law on Notarization (amended), Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long said: "The above regulation was introduced based on the approach that this is a public service. Public services are done by the state, and can be socialized for private organizations to do with certain mandatory conditions, but are not commercialized."
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Le Thanh Long explained.
In addition, the draft does not completely ban self-introduction tools of notary organizations here, only bans them on mass media and not on websites. Therefore, according to him, there is no fear that the ban on advertising will lead to organizations being unable to introduce themselves.
If organizations do well, operate properly, are trusted by the people, and especially create professional prestige, that is more important than commercial advertising.
"In some countries, they basically prohibit notary organizations from advertising. In some countries that do not prohibit it, they can use technical barriers to limit notary organizations from talking about themselves in the form of advertising like other commercial enterprises," the Deputy Prime Minister further explained.
