The above information was given by businesses at the Consultation Conference on some Vietnamese mechanical development policies (2021 -2035) organized by the Vietnam Mechanical Association on October 9 in Hanoi.
Although up to 80-90% of mechanical products in the oil and gas industry are produced and exported to more than 30 countries around the world, the Southern Petroleum Construction Joint Stock Company cannot "set foot" in.
Mr. Vu Van Dao, the director of the company, said that in order to join the contract and become a contractor for oil and gas, he had to go through two foreign enterprises, although fully qualified to do so.
The reason is that the policy mechanism and the point of view do not dare to accept the new thing of domestic enterprises, and fear of risks, many enterprises turn their backs on domestic mechanical product suppliers.
As evidenced in the past when discussing the selection of materials for the truss building, Mr. Dao introduced his proposed research project made of concrete instead of steel, but because it is "too new" and has not been applied in the country. , so the investor refused because "did not want to do the experiment".

For example, a list of key mechanical products to enjoy incentives, all recorded as "equipment", so when applying for certification, each place understands a style that makes enterprises unable to apply for public product certification. key support industry to enjoy incentives.

Mr. Dao Phan Long, Chairman of the Vietnam Mechanical Association, said that in order to develop a number of key mechanical products, apart from the efforts of enterprises, it is necessary to have the hands of the state through the system of book sync and stability.
Accordingly, it is necessary to calculate incentives not only for production but also for investors who use domestic mechanical products, to subsidize the stable difference of 5% / year and reconsider the regulation. tax assessment on mechanical products ...
