Hanoi, October 03, 2003
 DIRECTIVE
ON CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESOLUTION OF THE 5TH PLENUM OF THE PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE (IXTH CONGRESS) ON COLLECTIVE ECONOMY
After more than one year's implementating March 18, 2002 Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW of the fifth plenum of the Party Central Committee (IXth Congress) on further renewing, developing, and raising the efficiency of, collective economy and the Government's Action Program promulgated together with Decision No. 94/2002/QD-TTg of July 17, 2002, the ministries, branches and localities have made numerous efforts to study, institutionalize and promulgate a number of specific mechanisms and policies in order to remove difficulties and problems and to create favorable conditions for collective economy to further develop. Many cooperative models have been formed, effectively operated, actively contributing to the process of economic restructuring, agricultural and rural industrialization and modernization.
Nevertheless, the propagation and study of the Resolution have not yet been carried out thoroughly and extensively as required. The promulgation of guiding documents remains slow and the contents of some documents remain inappropriate. The specialized management apparatus and the contingent of State management officials in the ministries, branches and localities in charge of cooperatives still reveal many constraints. The organization and direction of the overcoming of weaknesses in the sector of collective economy have not yet been concentrated, failing to bring about substantial changes as required by the Resolution.
