The Central Equitization Steering Committee shall have to review all existing documents and submit to the Government relevant amendments and supplements made thereto in the spirit of the Politburo’s guidelines. The functional ministries shall have to review already issued documents, study, make appropriate detailed adjustments and supplements, thus creating a uniform legal basis for speeding up the conversion of a number of State enterprises into stock companies. 2. The Ministries, ministerial-level agencies and the People’s Committees of various levels shall have to profoundly grasp the Party’s and Government’s viewpoint and policy on the equitization of a number of State enterprises and explain them to the people and workers in the enterprises so as to fundamentally change their perception of this policy. The Central Equitization Steering Committee shall coordinate with the concerned agencies and organizations in making all the people well aware of the benefits of investing their money in production by purchasing stocks of equitized enterprises. 3. The Ministry of Planning and Investment shall set the principles for soring out which enterprises the State should continue to hold 100% of their capital and which enterprises the State should hold prevailing shares or special shares and submit them to the Government for decision in August 1997. On the basis of these principles, in September 1997, the ministries, the ministerial-level agencies, the agencies attached to the Government and the People’s Committees of the provinces and cities directly under the Central Government and State corporations established by the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 91-TTg of March 7, 1994 shall select and report to the Prime Minister the lists of their attached State enterprises with enough conditions for being equitized in 1997 and 1998. 4.

Those ministries, branches and localities having not yet set up equitization steering boards should quickly establish them in accordance with Decision No. 548-TTg of August 13, 1996 of the Prime Minister. 5. The Central Equitization Steering Committee shall make a specific plan for implementing the equitization from now to the end of 1997 and submit it to the Prime Minister for approval before the implementation thereof and assist the Prime Minister in directing the ministries and localities that have many State enterprises to carry out equitization, especially in such provinces and cities as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Haiphong, Da Nang, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, and in the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Trade, etc. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a preliminary review of the equitization under Decree No. 28-CP of May 7, 1996 of the Government should be organized 6.
