countries in the world on the size of the competition agency's personnel in 2016 (GCR, 2017) Furthermore, most of the staff working at VCCA are young officers, with many limitations in experience, professional knowledge and specialized fields and case handling skills This may be partly due to the recruitment policy of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the salary is still quite low, and the rate of personnel reversal still high In fact, the anti-monopoly community in Vietnam thinks that the workforce has low remuneration and cost norms, which can spell out the situation of inexperienced personnel and relatively limited capacity preparations In its 2014 annual report, VCCA also identified the challenges in its investigation due to a number of limitations and limitations mentioned first due to a lack of manpower Notwithstanding that Competition Law can be taught at universities, teaching is still only a conceptual level because Vietnam has very few decision cases and has not published enough grounds for argument Therefore, VCCA, VCC and donors have to support "on-site" training a lot Once the budget is approved, NCC needs to have sufficient autonomy in how its budget is used NCC should have adequate and reasonable personnel in terms of Luan van

process The recruitment process should not be subjected to unreasonable restrictions such as civil servant recruitment exams or compliance with civil servant payroll The secretariat with strong potential will achieve high efficiency and efficiency The income for NCC staff should reflect (a) intensive, extremely specialized work; and (b) NCC's income is competitive with those of law firms or other consulting firms to retain high-quality personnel 6.4 Strengthen cooperation between competition authories of both Parties The EU is increasingly expanding to 27-member states, synonymous with 27 competing laws and 27 different jurisdictions The European Commission and the national competition authorities in all EU Member States cooperate with each other through the European Competition Network (ECN) This is an advanced form of cooperation within their closed framework, under the European Competition Network, which allows for exchanges of all types of information between Member State competition authorities and the European Commission Provisions on cooperation in competition law enforcement in EVFTA regulated that both parties should provide each other with relevant information that enables their competition authorities to investigate and take appropriate and effective actions concerning anti-competitive practices and mergers with anti-competitive effects - In order to fulfill the objectives of this Chapter and to enhance effective competition enforcement, the Parties acknowledge that it is in their common interest to strengthen cooperation with regard to competition policy development, including subsidy control, subject to the availability of funding under the Parties' cooperation instruments and programs (Art.10.14) To implement effectively this commitment, Vietnam competition authority(NCC) should: Firstly, minimize the impact of legislation and regulations that might have the effect of restricting cooperation between competition authorities or hindering an investigation or proceeding of other EU members, such as legislation Luan van

82 and regulations prohibiting domestic enterprises or individuals from cooperating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by competition authorities of other EU members Secondly, make publicly available sufficient information on their substantive and procedural rules, including those relating to confidentiality, by appropriate means to facilitate mutual understanding of how national enforcement systems operate NCC should ordinarily notify other EU members when its investigation or proceeding can be expected to affect the other EU member’s important interests Where two or more countries investigate or proceed against the same or related anti-competitive practice or a merger with anti-competitive effects, authorities should endeavor to co-ordinate their investigations or proceedings where their competition authorities agree that it would be in their interest to so Vietnam should consider promoting the adoption of legal provisions allowing for the exchange of confidential information between competition authorities without the need to obtain prior consent from the source of the information (“information gateways”) Luan van

83 CHAPTER CONCLUSION The EVFTA is expected to be a lever for Vietnam’s international economic integration process in new decades The ratification of the EVFTA comes at the time that Vietnam achieved significant development; with GPD growth rates of >7% in 2018 and 2019 - one of the strongest growing economies in Southeast Asia This is also particularly meaningful against the background of Trade War between US and China, which affect the global supply chain and forced many nations to adjust their economic outlook The theory of competition in the context of globalization and empirical research shows that when free trade agreements (FTAs) are signed, not only bring opportunities but also create many challenges, especially for developing countries where the competition authority is still the young and legal framework of competition is still weak With the official signature of new-generation FTAs: EVFTA in June 2019 and ratification of the European Parliament on Feb 2020 - the institutional reforms and policy adjustment in Vietnam have become more imperative than ever All the commitments regarding competition, economic concentration, or designating of SOEs in EVFTA is significant pressure for Vietnam From the perspective of international trade, bolster large enterprises (such as FPT, Viettel, Vingroup, Petrolimex…) to compete in the international market and simultaneously create an equal competition environment in the domestic market all play the same important role Therefore, Vietnam needs both an appropriate master plan and a strong legal framework on competition policy to ensure a level playing field for Vietnamese enterprises and big corporations from the EU The Government of Vietnam had improved weaknesses of Competition Law 2004 by amended Competition Law 2018, which included substantially appropriate regulations It is important to highlight the fact that Vietnam should complete soon improve bye-laws and relevant documents also By issuing decrees and guidance documents firstly, aim to build up an independent and effective competition authority Luan van
