Regarding cases related to planning scope and administrative boundaries when making urban and rural plans, the Deputy Chairman of the Economic Committee said: taking into account the opinions of National Assembly deputies, the Draft Law has been revised in the direction of clearly regulating cases related to planning scope and administrative boundaries in the direction of minimizing the number of plans that must be made.
