PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION
COMPREHENSIVE AND PROGRESSIVE AGREEMENT FOR TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (CPTPP) OF THE MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND TRADE
(Issued together with Decision No. 456/QD/BCT-DB dated March 1, 2019 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade)
I. LEGAL BASIS FOR AND NECESSITY OF FORMULATING THE PLAN
1. Legal basis
- Vietnam and 10 countries including Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, Japan, New Zealand, Peru and Singapore signed Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) in Chile on March 8, 2018. As required, the Agreement will officially enter into force 60 days after 6 signatories have notified New Zealand, as the depository, in writing of the completion of their parliamentary approval for ratification.
- On December 30, 2018, the Agreement officially entered into force for 6 signatories including Mexico, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Canada and Australia after they have notified New Zealand in writing of the completion of their parliamentary approval for ratification.
- For Vietnam, on November 12, 2018, the National Assembly of Vietnam ratified Resolution No. 72/2018/QH14 on approval for CPTPP and related instruments. On November 15, 2018, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam notified New Zealand in writing of the completion of their parliamentary approval for ratification. Pursuant to effective provisions of the Agreement, January 14, 2019 will be the date on which CPTPP enters into force in Vietnam.
- On January 25, 2019, in Decision No. 121/QD-TTg, the Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc approved the Plan for implementing CPTPP and assigned the Ministry of Industry and Trade to take charge and cooperate with Government Office in monitoring and expediting ministries, agencies and local governments and enterprises’ representatives to implement the Plan.
- In the Official Letter No 9552/BCT-KH of the Ministry of Industry and Trade dated November 23, 2018 signed by Minister Tran Tuan Anh, the Minister Tran Tuan Anh assigned the Department of Multilateral Trade Policy to assume the responsibility for formulation of plan, roadmap, and assignment of works to implement CPTPP.
2. Necessity
- The Prime Minister has assigned the Ministry of Industry and Trade to assume the prime responsibility for implementing the Plan for implementation of CPTPP . Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Trade needs to prepare a clear Plan to ensure the full performance of the tasks assigned by the Prime Minister.
- CPTPP is the first new generation FTA that Vietnam has negotiated, signed and ratified. This Agreement has a deeper and broader commitment than many of Vietnamese previous FTAs. This Agreement is expected to not only bring great opportunities but also comes with many challenges for Vietnam, including many areas under responsibility of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Therefore, the formulation of the Action Plan of the Ministry of Industry and Trade will both help the Ministry to fulfill tasks of designated contact point assigned by the Government and help the Ministry to take initiative in making use of the opportunities as well as limiting challenges under areas of responsibility.
- Currently, the need to learn information of the people and business community about CPTPP is very large, especially after this Agreement was ratified by the National Assembly of Vietnam. Although they have been many seminars recently held in some localities, they are mainly spontaneous, not according to the systematic propagation program of the Government. Therefore, the public is looking forward to the Government, in specific, the Ministry of Industry and Trade as the designated contact point will preside over negotiation of CPTPP, hold highly-qualified and professional seminars and talks and fully and thoroughly explain CPTPP to interested entities.
