Debate on regulations for northern industrial complexes

Representatives from 28 northern provinces and cities gathered at a seminar held in Hai Phong port city on October 2 to discuss measures to regulate industrial complexes (ICs).

The participants at the seminar, entitled “Sustainable Development of Industrial Complexes: Real Situations and Measures”, agreed that the next step is for the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) to introduce and promulgate new regulations regarding IC management in the country.

The ministry should aim to give preference and financial support to ICs in order to develop their infrastructure and environmental treatment systems, they added.

They also agreed that the country’s ICs currently lack an overall strategy, state-managed document system, preferential mechanisms and capital.

According to the MoIT, more than 1,600 industrial complexes will be built on a total area of 73,000 ha in the country by 2010.

The seminar was co-organised by the MoIT’s Department of Local Industrial Development and the Hai Phong Department of Industry and Trade.
