On the afternoon of June 7, under the chairmanship and direct direction of Politburo member and National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, the National Assembly continued to question a group of issues in the fields of science and technology and a group of issues in the field of transportation.
Participating in the questioning session, National Assembly Delegate Dang Bich Ngoc (Hoa Binh delegation) stated: In the past, many inspection centers have closed, causing frustration and difficulties for people and businesses. "Through contact with voters, there were many opinions suggesting creating conditions to reopen inspection centers. What solutions does the Minister have to soon implement this issue?", National Assembly Delegate Dang Bich Ngoc asked.
National Assembly delegate Dang Bich Ngoc (Hoa Binh delegation) participated in the questioning.
Responding to questions, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang said that up to now, only the inspection centers of two provinces, Hoa Binh and Bac Kan, have not resumed operations due to a lack of staff and inspectors. The Minister has worked directly with the localities and the Ministry has also directly trained human resources introduced by the localities. These cases can take exams and be granted certificates to hold leadership positions at the inspection centers.
Regarding the inspectors, the Ministry of Transport has coordinated with the Department of Transport of Hoa Binh province to fully prepare and is expected to reopen this Inspection Center soon.

Also concerned about this issue, Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang (Dak Nong delegation) argued: The Minister of Transport believes that the current inspection of motor vehicles is not a cause for concern. However, Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang said that the Minister's answer is only partly correct, with some urgent solutions at present such as amending and issuing Circular 08, extending the inspection period for personal vehicles with less than 7 seats. According to the Delegate, this is only a temporary solution.
Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang noted that 75% of the current inspection centers are operated by non-state enterprises. When investing, enterprises must recover their capital. However, with the current financial mechanism, it is very difficult for these enterprises to maintain inspection centers.
Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang (Dak Nong delegation) debated.
Therefore, the Delegate suggested that in the coming time, there should be innovation in the financial mechanism, creating conditions for non-state enterprises to carry out vehicle inspections, this is the only solution that can ensure long-term sustainability. "If we only extend and maintain the current financial mechanism, it will be very difficult for vehicle inspection centers to exist as they are now," said Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang.
Responding to the debate of Delegate Nguyen Truong Giang, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang said that the recent incidents in vehicle inspection activities were extremely serious, causing major consequences when businesses and people had to wait for vehicle inspection.
The Minister emphasized that up to 600 leaders, civil servants, officials, and inspectors were prosecuted, and out of 281 inspection units, up to 106 inspection centers had to close. Recently, the Ministry of Transport has closely coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security to focus on removing obstacles and restoring inspection activities to serve people and businesses.
The Minister said that since taking office, he has made efforts to research and adjust vehicle inspection regulations to conform to international practices, saving time and costs for the people. The Ministry is implementing measures to restore vehicle inspection activities, and reviewing all vehicle inspection activities to ensure modern, transparent and strict requirements.
Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang answered questions.
The Ministry has issued Circular 02, which mentions exemption from first-time inspection and extension of inspection period to comply with regulations of countries in the region. The Ministry has also issued legal documents to regulate that when the inspection period is extended, it is not necessary to inspect the vehicle before issuing the inspection stamp. This has saved time for more than 1 million vehicles.
Minister Nguyen Van Thang also said that there are still some things that need to be done to restore vehicle inspection activities. The Ministry has coordinated with the Ministry of Finance to include in the draft Law on Prices to remove vehicle inspection prices from the list of prices managed by the State, so that the market can decide, ensuring income for vehicle inspectors. The Ministry is also focusing on recruiting and training vehicle inspection staff to have enough staff to re-arrange all vehicle inspection centers, so that all vehicle inspection lines will return to normal operation when there are enough staff.
In addition, the Ministry also actively applies information technology to strictly control and minimize manual inspection, while implementing online registration and inspection and payment by bank transfer.
