DIRECTIVE No DIRECTIVE No. 22/2001/CT-TTg OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 ON REORGANIZING THE WORK OF INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION AT ENTERPRISES Since the Government promulgated Decree No. 61/1998/ND-CP on August 15, 1998 on the work of inspection and examination at enterprises (hereafter called Decree No. 61 for short), this work has seen positive changes, helping to put production and business activities into order and discipline. However, the inspections and examinations conducted by various functional agencies show coincidence and overlapping; or inspections or examinations have been conducted without decisions, or the inspection and examination duration has been arbitrarily prolonged. The coordination among the inspection and examination agencies is not close yet. Acts of misusing or abusing the inspection and examination power to harass for personal benefits and cause difficulties and nuisances to enterprises still exist. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the work of inspection and examination at enterprises, and strictly implement Decree No. 61, the Prime Minister hereby requests: 1.

The competent State agencies shall step up the monitoring and guiding of enterprises in their self-inspection and examination.

The enterprises may use the written conclusions made in the year by the inspection, examination and audit teams as legal grounds for proposing the agencies issuing the inspection and examination decisions to withdraw the repeated inspection and examination contents. 3. The Minister of Public Security to direct the consolidation and reorganization of the Economic Police, the Economic Security Force, the Cultural Security Force, the Fire Prevention and Fight Police, and the Administrative Management Police on social order and security.
