This is part of the Prime Minister’s decision on a pilot national one-stop-shop customs mechanism. The technological connection affirmed Vietnam’s commitment to ASEAN member countries when approving agreements and protocols moving toward an ASEAN Economic Community by 2015.
Deputy Prime Minister Vu Van Ninh said that related Ministries and sectors need to continue to reform and simplify administrative procedures. He also asked Ministries and sectors to closely cooperate in working out criteria for building a data base of administrative procedures to serve Vietnam’s regional integration and free trade negotiations.
