Some opinions say that there is not enough legal basis to directly apply the specific mechanism of Resolution 106/2023/QH15 to a number of projects that exceed the provisions of Clause 2, Article 89 of the Law on Public Investment, because these projects are not subject to the application of Resolution 106/2023/QH15.
