Mr. Nguyen Manh Hien, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, PPC Chairman, presided over the meeting.
Hai Duong province’s gross product in 2014 was estimated to increase by 7.7% compared to 2013, higher than the set plan of 7 – 7.5% and the national average (estimated to climb by 5.8%). To date, 227 communes have averagely met 11.2 criteria in new rural development (NRD); 57 communes in stage 1 of NRD met 14.2 criteria; and 18 specific communes met 16.3 criteria. The total foreign investment in the province surged up by 3 times over 2013. The total budget revenue was estimated at VND7,500 billion, equivalent to 110% of the estimate, up 10% against the same period of last year, etc. Culture and society fields saw further growth; social security and order were maintained.
However, the development of industrial production and import and export activities still depended largely on the growth rate of the foreign investment sector; services had low quality and small scales; there was not any stable market for agricultural produce, etc. Vocational training exposed a lot of inadequacies and was yet to meet requirements. The settlement of redundant and blank sandwiched land in some localities remained slow, etc.
The session focused on discussing main targets in the socio-economic development plan for 2015. Accordingly, the goals for 2015 include an economic growth rate of 7.5% upward; total domestic budget revenue of VND5,575 billion (exclusive of land use revenue), up 5% or more compared to the estimated figure in 2014; new jobs for 32,000 laborers; 90% of population getting access to clean water, etc.
After listening to opinions at the meeting, PPC Chairman Nguyen Manh Hien asked the advisory agency to review and update figures in the report to be closer to reality. More detailed analysis and assessment of advantages and difficulties in the process of accomplishing NRD criteria, especially in the 18 specific communes, are required. In the industrial field, it is necessary to figure out new features in 2014 compared to 2013 and clearly analyze the reasons why businesses had to stop production or flee away. As for foreign investment attraction, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI)’s evaluations of administrative procedure reform need to be supplemented. The report should assess in more detailed limitations and causes to work out specific solutions.
The PPC Chairman basically agreed to a draft on tasks and solutions for 2015. The report was required to specify targets and focus on proposing remedies for localities’ difficulties and obstacles to contribute to successfully fulfilling socio-economic development tasks for 2015.
The PPC Chairman concurred with rates regulated at 20% and 80% of budget allocation for road maintenance at provincial and district levels, respectively. Tolls on motorcycles circulated on 188 road will be abolished as from January 1, 2015.
For the proposal on environmental fee in Hai Duong city, the PPC Chairman assented to fee increase according to each specific norm for career and administrative bodies, schools, business households, etc.
Regarding the regulations on the levels of spending on administrative procedure control activities in the province, he consented to pay controllers of administrative procedures at commune level VND100,000/ person/ month, at district level VND150,000/ person/ month, at provincial level VND200,000/ person/ month, etc.
