In the process of economic integration and development, in order
to create favorable conditions for business and service sectors under the
management of the Ministry of Information and Communications, Vietnam has
approved the plan to reduce and simplify regulations a number of regulations
under its control.
Plan to Simplify Regulations on Telecom, Gaming,
Internet Service
Accordingly, Decision No. 1994/QD-TTg agreed to reduce and
simplify regulations related to business lines: Provision of pay radio and
television services; Provide G1, G2, G3, G4 video games online; Newspapers;
Telecommunications service business; publisher’s activities; Business in
printing services, except for packaging printing; Publishing services business;
Postal services; Information Technology; Science and technology; Domain name
registration and maintenance services; Internet; Network information security
products and services in Vietnam. It is important for the company
operating in the areas of concern to consult with telecom, internet business,
media lawyers to follow up with specific changes in law in Vietnam.
These are industries with fast-growing trends and have a strong
impact on other industries as well as on the overall economic development.
Therefore, the facilitation and restriction of procedures will contribute to
attracting foreign investment and creating development motivation for
businesses, quickly catching up with the rapid changes of services, improving
the quality of services and improving the quality of services information and
communication products.
Accordingly, on procedures for granting certificates of
eligibility to provide public electronic game services, for the application
components “Plan for the location of the computer room of the public video game
service point suitable according to the prescribed area” and “Pay the fee for
the issuance of the Certificate of eligibility to operate the point of supply
providing public video game services” were abolished. Especially, it is subject
to change immediately after the time of licensing. Therefore, the information
of the location of the machine room option at the time of consideration for
licensing is of little significance. Besides, the Decision also mentions
supplementing the form of implementing administrative procedures on electronic
means (changing the form of paper copies into electronic ones) to be flexible
and ensure consistency with the Enterprise Law 2020 in the implementation for
businesses.
The decision also abolishes administrative procedures for granting
licenses to provide G1, G2, G3, G4 video game services online. According to the
plan, many procedures with G1 online game service will be abolished such as:
licensing procedures; license re-issuance; license renewal or procedures for
amending and supplementing the license to provide G1 video game services on the
internet… This is a meaningful abolition decision for the practice of licensing
video games. Because, it is challenging for state agencies to request
enterprises to apply for permits and report every time they change their
business plans, affecting the autonomy of enterprises as well as creating huge
inadequacies in terms of business administrative procedures.
In addition, business conditions: “The publisher’s office has an
appropriate area, meets the provisions of the law on standards and norms for
using the office” has been simplified to ” having an office that meets the
provisions of law on standards and norms for using the office”. This change is
reasonable, because the criterion of suitable area has no basis for
explanation. Moreover, the area ofthe publisher’s headquarters is not related
to the management of the State. With the new regulations, publishers can be
autonomous in choosing the right area, ensuring space for business activities.
At the same time, the Decision also combines two administrative procedures
including re-issuance and renewal of licenses for printing and publishing
publications into one administrative procedure, limiting cumbersome procedures,
saving time and costs for businesses.
In addition, in the field of publication distribution service
business, the Decision simplifies the process of granting certificates of
registration for publishing and publishing electronic publications in the
direction of only performing the verification process determining the project
of publishing and distributing electronic publications. Therefore, if the
project is eligible and accepted, the enterprise will be granted a certificate
of operation registration immediately.
According to the simplified version of the Decision, the Postal
Business Registration Certificate and the Postal Investment
Certificate in Vietnam will be merged into the Business
Registration Certificate.
Therefore, the introduction of Decision No. 1994/QD-TTg has
reduced and simplified procedures; help the process of preparing documents
quickly; save time for organizations and individuals when carrying out
administrative procedures and minimize the cost of administrative compliance.
