The answers given by agencies to the businesses' petitions, however, were considered as simply giving directions, and yet to bring up specific plans that were able to get to the bottom of the issues. Thus, the businesses still had to address the same petitions many times a years.

Mr Nguyen Bon required Heads of Departments, agencies, People's Committee of districts and town absorb the recommendations and have responsibility for removing the impediment facing businesses. As for land issues that are impossible to be solved under the authority of the province, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment was to take the responsibility for submitting recommendations to Central Government for the direction to puzzle out the problems. Within 7 months, the banks need to hold dialogue to listen and settle the issues relating to capital for businesses.

In the coming time, the businesses operating in the province need to continue addressing their difficulties to the provice so as to get answers from related departments and agencies. However, Mr Nguyen Bon insisted that the province was not to attract investment at any cost, especially in case it might cause environmental polution to the province. Thus, businesses have to commit to and obey current regulation during their implementation of projects. As for the Provincial People's Committee, it would continue to readjust the overlapping inspection and supervision by departments and agencies over businesses, which was a very common issue confronting businesses during the last time.
