The Decree 43/2026/ND-CP amending some articles in decrees in the field of nature and biodidversity conservation
Decree No. 43/2026/ND-CP amending and supplementing Decree No. 59/2017/ND-CP reflects the Government's policy on decentralization and administrative reform. The amendments further delegate authority to provincial-level People's Committees in the management of access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing, while simplifying administrative procedures through streamlined application processes, reduced documentary requirements and shorter processing timelines. These reforms are intended to improve the efficiency of public administration, facilitate compliance by applicants and enhance the implementation of Viet Nam's ABS framework.
