DECIDES:
Article 1.- To approve the overall planning for development of Vietnam's paper industry till the year 2010, which has been elaborated by the Ministry of Industry, with the following principal contents:
1. The objectives:
The development objectives of the paper industry till the year 2010 are: To tap and develop all production resources, thus meeting 85%-90% of the domestic paper consumption demand, and step by step integrating Vietnam's paper industry into the regional paper industry. To renew equipment and modernize technology(ies), to harmoniously combine new construction investment with intensive investment, expand the existing establishments, develop raw materials areas, to balance consumption with production, export with import, increase the output, better the quality and raise the competitiveness of commodities, thus contributing to the economic growth and the successful materialization of the policy on national industrialization and modernization.
2. The viewpoints:
a) Regarding the technology:
For investment projects on new construction and projects on renovation and/or expansion of the industry's major production establishments, advanced and modern technology(ies) and equipment with high automation shall be used in order to save raw materials, fuel, electric power and production materials, and protect environment according to Vietnamese and international standards. The investment in procurement of used equipment shall be made only for the upgrading and renovation of the existing establishments with small production scale, too old and obsolete technology and equipment, and must be carefully studied for each specific project.
b) Regarding the scale and capacity of investment projects:
The paper industry's long-term development orientation is to concentrate on the large- and medium-scale projects to ensure the efficient production, but for the immediate future, investment shall also be made in small-scale projects in order to make full use of the local advantages in raw materials, materials, market, labor force..., especially in the mountainous and Central Highland provinces.
c) Regarding the planning:
The construction of paper producing establishments must be based on the careful study and evaluation of locations and characteristics of raw materials sources, market demands (local and national market), infrastructure conditions and capability to mobilize investment capital. The planning for development of paper raw materials resources must be in line with the agricultural sector's general planning, associated with the planning for plant varieties, the characteristics of each region in terms of natural conditions (pedological and climatic conditions) and social conditions, and couple with the determination of rational model of production and managerial system in the raw materials areas as well as the policy on raw materials' prices and mode of purchase and supply of raw materials for production.
The paper industry shall have to apply measures to invest in the production of paper pulp, in order to rapidly increase the domestic paper pulp output, and to strive for non-import of paper pulp by the year 2003.
The development of the paper industry, including raw materials areas, must be carried out in a close association with the maintenance of security and national defense, the protection of environment and scenic beauty, the acceleration of production restructure in mountainous, deep-lying and remote areas; and contribute to the agricultural and rural industrialization and modernization.
d) Regarding the mobilization of investment capital from various sources:
To rationally mobilize foreign investment capital while ensuring the leading role of the domestic enterprises, especially the State enterprises. Depending on the characteristics of each project, each locality and each specific period of time, this guiding principle shall be realized to determine appropriate investment forms (domestic investment or joint ventures with foreign parties).
