2. New conditions for implementing industrial park infrastructure projects
The Government has issued Decree 35/2022/ND-CP regulating the management of industrial parks and economic zones.
The Decree includes 08 Chapters, 76 Articles, regulating general issues; investing in infrastructure, establishing industrial parks and economic zones; policies on development of industrial zones and economic zones; some types of industrial parks and industrial – service – urban zones; the national information system on industrial parks and economic zones; State management of industrial parks and economic zones; functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of the Management Board of industrial parks, export processing zones and economic zones; and terms of performance.
In particular, regarding infrastructure investment and industrial park construction, Decree 35/2022/ND-CP abolishes the procedure for establishing industrial zones in order to reduce administrative procedures for businesses. Accordingly, an industrial park is determined to have been established since the competent authority:
- Deciding the investment policy of industrial park infrastructure projects using public investment capital in accordance with the law on public investment;
- Approving the investment policy and at the same time approving the investor, approving the investor or granting the investment registration certificate to execute the investment project on construction and business of infrastructure of the industrial park according to regulations of investment law.
In addition, Decree 35/2022/ND-CP also completes the conditions for investment and business in industrial park infrastructure (occupation rate, industrial park size, investor’s capacity and some other conditions) on the basis of inheriting the provisions of Decree No. 82/2018/ND-CP and the provisions of Clauses 2 and 3, Article 7 of the Law on Investment in order to ensure conformity with the characteristics of the industrial park infrastructure project.
