Review carefully for consistency and consistency

After listening to the report of the Ministry of Science and Technology and opinions from the Government Office, the Ministry of Justice, and relevant agencies, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung said that this is an opportunity to better summarize and synchronize the legal system on science and technology. The Ministry of Science and Technology has tried and made efforts to carry out its tasks in the past time.

"It is necessary to ensure the urgency and quality of draft laws," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized, pointing out two main difficulties: Implementation progress; simultaneously building and amending many laws can easily lead to duplication, and conflicts between regulations may arise.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, first of all, it is necessary to clearly define the principles, ideas, and goals of amending the law; the causes, basis for supplementation, and benefits must be assessed.

"It is impossible for a regulation to exist in both laws. It is even more impossible for a regulation in one law to contradict a regulation in another law. Therefore, the review work must be carried out very carefully," the Deputy Prime Minister especially noted.

The Ministry of Science and Technology is responsible for researching and reviewing to fully implement the viewpoints, directions, guidelines and policies of the Politburo; continuing to carefully review the difficulties and bottlenecks in various fields in the past time, to propose appropriate and practical mechanisms and policies.

At the same time, analyze and evaluate current major trends in the world and refer to successful experiences of other countries; organize seminars and conferences to listen to more opinions of domestic and foreign experts.

The Deputy Prime Minister suggested promoting M&A and mergers and acquisitions of companies holding core technology to cooperate in research, access the value chain and commercialize immediately.

In technology transfer, it is necessary to carefully review incentive and support policies; existing problems, difficulties, and inadequacies; on that basis, consider and propose appropriate incentive and support policies, ensuring consistency and suitability in order to continue perfecting incentive and support policies, promoting research, development, transfer, and mastery of strategic technology, high technology, advanced technology, green technology, and environmentally friendly technology...

Along with that is implementing maximum decentralization and delegation of power; cutting down and simplifying administrative procedures; ensuring effectiveness and efficiency in the process of law implementation; improving the effectiveness of state management of technology transfer activities.
