DIRECTIVE

REINFORCING STATE ADMINISTRATION OF COAL PRODUCTION AND TRADING

Recently, the ministries, sectors and localities have made considerable efforts in the management of coal production and trading; illegal exploitation, transport and trading of coal have been considerably reduced making a contribution toward sustainable development of coal and making a significant contribution to the state budget, ensuring national energy security and socio-economic development.

However, illegal exploitation, transport and trading still exist and show signs of re-occurrence; violations against regulations on labor safety and environmental protection in coal production and trading are widespread; dissemination and education of the laws on coal production and trading still have drawbacks; investigation and inspection of coal exploitation, processing and trading have not drawn adequate interests.

Reasons for such shortcomings are a lack of coordination among functional agencies at central and local levels, acts of joining hands and cover-ups by a number of officials and civil servants charged with state administration of coal production and trading, neglect and loose handling of violations and application of financial punishment and distribution of coal over a wide and complicated area along with enormous profits made from illegal coal trading.

In the execution of the Poliburo’s Resolution No. 02-NQ/TW dated April 25, 2011 regarding strategy for minerals and mining industries to the year 2020, a vision to 2030, to develop the Law on Mineral in 2010 and reinforce state administration of survey, exploitation, transport, processing and trading of coal, the Prime Minister requests Ministries, sectors, localities and relevant agencies and units to carry out the following duties:
