The “Plan” clarifies the development of differentiated charging in six situations, including road sections, vehicle types (types), time periods, entrances and exits, directions, and payment methods, innovating service models, scientifically and accurately formulating differentiated charging plans, and comprehensively promoting differences The toll collection will allow the public to share more of the dividends of highway reform and development. Will not increase the burden of travel So, after the implementation of differentiated tolls, will some road sections increase tolls? In this regard, Gu Zhifeng said that the purpose of differentiated fees can be summarized in six words: flow adjustment, fee reduction, and efficiency improvement. The “Plan” also makes it clear that when formulating and implementing policies to promote differentiated expressway tolls, all localities must adhere to the principle of based on the current toll standards and the principle of downward differentiation; the current government pricing must be adjusted to guide prices, and existing government pricing must be adjusted to guide prices. Government pricing and charging standards are the upper limit, giving expressway operation and management units a certain degree of autonomy in pricing. Judging from the previous pilot situation, this principle has basically been realized. According to Gu Zhifeng, since 2017, the Ministry of Transport has guided many places to actively explore differentiated charges by time period, road section, and vehicle type in accordance with the actual conditions of the region, and carried out pilot work. For example, Shanxi Province offers a 30% discount on truck tolls from 8 am to 20:00 on 5 road sections including Tianda Expressway, and a 70% discount on truck tolls from 20:00 to 8:00 on the next day; Zhejiang provides Qianjiang Tunnel for passage. A 12% discount on tolls will be implemented for category 5 (5-axle) and category 6 (6-axle and above) trucks. These measures effectively played a role in cutting peaks and filling valleys, balanced the traffic volume of the road network, and did not increase travel costs. According to reports, Hubei Province began a pilot project in June 2018, and introduced measures such as extending the time for preferential tolls for passenger and truck tolls and increasing the margins of preferential tolls for two expressways, reducing logistics costs for enterprises by 600 million yuan each year. “From a practical point of view, the implementation of differentiated expressway tolls has resulted in a balanced distribution of traffic in pilot areas and sections, significantly improved road network operation efficiency, effectively reduced truck transportation costs, and effective protection of the legitimate rights and interests of highway investors, realizing multi-party mutual benefit. A win-win situation.” Gu Zhifeng said. Continuously optimize and improve the long-term mechanism According to Gu Zhifeng, according to the plan, the specific implementation steps of expressway differentiated toll collection are divided into three stages. The first is the plan formulation stage. Before the end of June, local transportation, development and reform and financial authorities will organize and coordinate expressway operation and management units, and on the basis of summing up pilot experience, comprehensive analysis and investigation, selecting qualified expressways, in-depth analysis and calculations, Formulate a differentiated fee plan scientifically and report it to the provincial people’s government for approval in accordance with the law and implement it. The second is the organization and implementation stage. Before the end of September, local transportation, development and reform, and financial authorities will supervise and guide expressway operation and management units, and earnestly organize implementation in accordance with the plan approved by the provincial people’s government, and strengthen dynamic tracking to ensure tangible results . The third is to summarize the evaluation stage. In mid-December, local transportation, development and reform, and financial authorities will organize third-party evaluations based on the implementation status, analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the evaluation plan, optimize and improve relevant policies and measures in time, and establish and improve the differentiation of expressways. The long-term fee mechanism forms a summary evaluation report. Experts said that differentiated expressway toll collection is a reform and attempt, and the implementation of the plan will greatly increase the complexity of expressway toll collection. The tolls of different highways are different, and the tolls of different types of vehicles are different, and even the same car passing through the same section of highway will cause different tolls due to different times. Therefore, many experts suggest that, on the one hand, through continuous exploration, measures to local conditions, road conditions, and classified policies, further optimize and refine policies, establish long-term mechanisms, and enhance the effectiveness of policies; at the same time, clearly mark prices. Real-time check, so that highway users, especially car owners who don’t take the highway often, can learn about preferential information in a timely manner

Statistics show that in 2019, 1.9 million Chinese tourists came to Russia. This number ranks third in terms of inbound tourists to Russia, second only to Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

There are many interesting things to travel to Russia. A long time ago, I heard people say that Russian high-speed rail attendants charge tips. At that time, I felt very strange, wondering how the aunts and grandpas who lined up to get cheap rice and eggs would give them so easily.

But when we came to Russia, we really “consciously” paid the tips. Let me talk about the process in detail:

First of all, Russia also has high-speed rail.

The name of the Russian high-speed rail is “Сапсан”, which means peregrine falcon, commonly known as duck tiger. There are currently only two routes: one is from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and the other is from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod.

We took the line from Moscow to St. Petersburg, which was put into use in December 2009. The whole journey was less than 1,000 kilometers, and it took nearly 4 hours to calculate the 250 kilometers per hour. Here, it can only be regarded as the level of high-speed trains, not high-speed rail at all.

Secondly, the train is good and the rail is poor. Objectively speaking, the high-speed rail locomotive made in Russia is still good. The tour guide said that it was imported from Siemens, Germany. Each row is composed of 10 groups, worth more than 800 million euros, and can operate at -40°C to +40° Normal driving within the temperature range of C.

The tour guide said that, not only did we think of the K3 international train that we took from Beijing to Moscow, it also seemed to be made in Germany. It has been imported from 1995 to today, and it has been running for 26 years, and the quality has nothing to say.

Why not buy China’s high-speed rail? We asked the tour guide and she said seriously: We know that China’s high-speed rail is very good, but we need to lay special tracks. We are poor and have no money.

In the subsequent itinerary, we finally learned the meaning of the tour guide’s sentence: Russia’s high-speed rail was too shaken and the noise was particularly loud. This Siemens locomotive runs at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour on a traditional ordinary line, not our dedicated ballastless track.

What’s more interesting is that Russia’s high-speed rail slows, express, and high-speed trains are mixed, and the speed can’t go up at all.

Again, “consciously” tip.

The flight attendants don’t want a lot of tips, 10 yuan, and they charge RMB. Everyone will be unhappy if you pay extra, but you can’t stand the sweetness of the pretty tour guide. The tour guide is 26 years old and his surname is Smirnov. She explained that it means “modest”. In order to facilitate memory, we later called him a modest guide.

When we were on the bus at the railway station, Mr. Qian told us about tipping, saying that it was a “local custom” and that the money was not much. It could show the generosity and wealth of Chinese tourists, and it could also make everyone Each tourist enjoys better service. I don’t know if I did my homework ahead of time, but the aunts and uncles who came with me also actively agreed.

When we got on the bus, the flight attendant was standing by the door. Although the facial features were very three-dimensional and they were pretty good-looking, we could tell from the body that we were married. Later, I saw a few more and discovered that it seems that the Russian high-speed train attendants are all married.

Soon after the train started, the tall and magnificent flight attendants came, first smiled at everyone, and then said four words in somewhat awkward Mandarin: “Hello, tip”, and then tipped them one by one.

We found that the three aunts in the same group were very happy to pay for the money, and took the flight attendant to take a group photo with the scissor hands. There are even more unexpected discoveries: There are not only Chinese tourists in the carriage, but the flight attendant sister seems to be eye-catching, even if the Chinese tourists want to tip. We were puzzled.

After paying the tip, I got better service. The train drove for about an hour, and the flight attendant sister came over and asked us through the tour guide if we need to go to the bar for a drink.

Of course we will go. A very elegant dining car with a dozen seats. You can drink or drink liquor. Of course, it costs money. You can also have a box lunch, sit by the window, and eat quietly while watching the scenery.

In other words, the Russian high-speed rail box lunch is cheaper than us, ranging from 250 rubles to 500 rubles, which is about 20 to 50 yuan. Staple foods include rice, noodles, bread, etc. Green vegetables include cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. The most affordable meats are grilled chicken, sausages and other meats.

Finally, we want to add that at the station in St. Petersburg, according to the previous process, we usually go to the toilet. It is not convenient to add an attraction. However, at the door of the toilet, there was a big sign with 30 rubles per person written in English. Seeing that it was English, not Chinese characters, we felt a little more balanced, but we didn’t go in and turned away.

The hotline to support medical declaration 18001119 is completely free. On 4-6, after investigation and verification, the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Information and Communications said that the information about subscribers being deducted when listening to a call displaying the word “BCD Covid19” in Bac Ninh is complete. totally fabricated. In order to provide maximum support for Bac Ninh in the prevention and control of Covid 19, from the morning of May 29, the Ministry of Information and Communications has directed telecommunications businesses to use Callbot technology to call mobile subscribers in the province. Bac Ninh and Bac Giang have not installed Bluezone to mobilize and guide people to install and use this application to protect themselves and the community against the Covid-19 epidemic. In particular, under the direction of the Ministry of Information and Communications, these calls are completely free of charge when people answer the phone or call back. However, recently, in Bac Ninh province and on social networks, information sharing about the situation has been spread: the number of the switchboard impersonated based on the Covid-19 epidemic to cheat money withdrawals from customers’ and customers’ phones. people. Mobile phone subscribers are charged when receiving an incoming call displaying the words “BCD Covid19” or “BCD Covid-313158” or “18001119”. In order to have a basis for information and propaganda on the mass media to let the people know, as well as to serve well the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic in Bac Ninh, Bac Giang and other provinces and cities in the area. nationwide, Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Information and Communications have investigated and verified. Accordingly, subscriber information that is deducted when listening to the phone is completely fabricated, people need to be alert when sharing, to avoid affecting the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic in Bac Ninh province. A facebook post corrected the previous false information. Source: Mic.gov.vn. In addition, the information that subscribers lost their charges when they heard from the Covid-19 switchboard spread on social networks has made people in Bac Ninh province bewildered, not daring to listen to the phone, greatly affecting the public sector. disease prevention and control as well as the security and order situation in Bac Ninh province. Therefore, the Department of Information and Communications of Bac Ninh province is also coordinating with relevant agencies to verify and track down the subjects who posted and shared articles about listening to calls losing money to handle according to regulations. provisions of the law. People installing and using Bluezone will help them receive timely warnings and support from health authorities when they come into contact with an infected case. When everyone participates, the Bluezone system will help to quickly trace, zoning, accurately isolate, and quickly prevent epidemics. At the same time, helping the community reduce the number of quarantined people, saving society’s resources.

Ministry of Industry and Trade is responsible?

In court, the defendants have the right to argue before the prosecution’s allegations that they are responsible for the VND 830 billion loss case at the Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Phase 2 Production Expansion Project (TISCO).

Defendant Tran Trong Mung, former General Director of TISCO, was the first to have the right to argue, but asked lawyer Dinh Anh Tuan to defend himself. Previously, defendant Mung was offered a penalty of 10-11 years in prison by the Procuracy because he was accused of having the main responsibility in the case when he did not terminate his contract with China Metallurgical Science, Technology and Trade Group (MCC) even though this business has violated.

The proceeding agency said that the defendant should Mung must terminate the contract with MCC, withdraw the advance; report to the authorized person to cancel the bid or to re-bid. However, he directed to negotiate at the request of MCC; sign a written request for price increase of part C (construction and installation) in the EPC contract of the project.

The Procuracy also accused Mung of introducing and accepting the Vietnam Industrial Construction Corporation (VINAINCON) as a subcontractor. Since then, VINAINCON is not qualified, so in 2011, construction has stopped, making the project unfinished so far.

Defending defendant Tran Trong Mung, lawyer Dinh Anh Tuan said that it is necessary to consider the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry and Trade when introducing VINAINCON to the defendants in the case so that they can choose to be subcontractors.

According to lawyer Dinh Anh Tuan, the main responsibility in introducing VINAINCON must belong to the Ministry of Industry and Trade; TISCO and Vietnam Steel Corporation – VNS are only liable for joint responsibility.

Lawyer Dinh Anh Tuan also said that his client only has a part of responsibility in introducing VINAINCON as a subcontractor, so he asked the court to transfer the crime from “Violation of regulations on the management and use of property. water causes loss and waste “to” Lack of responsibility, causing serious consequences “.

Regarding the alleged loss of VND 830 billion, VINAINCON was approved as a subcontractor, the defendants are former leaders at TISCO and VNS declared, they accepted because there was a document signed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade signed by a Deputy Minister. In the document, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said that VINAINCON is an enterprise of the Ministry with good capacity.

“Choose VINAINCON because according to experience”

Before that, in the questioning section, judge Truong Viet Toan asked VINAINCON’s representative, Mr. Hoang Chi Cuong (at the time of project implementation, VINAINCON’s General Director) to clarify the capacity of this business when being introduced to a subcontractor in the EPC contract.

Judge Truong Viet Toan asked Mr. Hoang Chi Cuong to confirm that at the time the bid received the requested documents from MCC and TISCO?

Mr. Hoang Chi Cuong affirmed that he has not received any documents yet.

Seeing “unreasonable”, because there is no request dossier in the bid, but VINAINCON is a subcontractor, judge Truong Viet Toan asked: “Without the request, on what basis for VINAINCON to respond. Asked to bid? ”

Mr. Hoang Chi Cuong said that this is just the selection of subcontractors of MCC, this is not the bidding document!

2 representatives of VINAINCON presented in court. Photo: DO TRUNG

Explaining to the representative of VINAINCON, judge Truong Viet Toan said that the selection of a contractor is also a form of bidding in the Bidding Law, in which the Bidding Law governs; the only difference is that public bidding or appointment of contractor, appointment of contractor is also a form of bidding.

“In the EPC contract, the general contractor MCC has the right to select the contractor according to the method of bidding or contractor appointment. Also in the same contract, the provisions of the contractor’s responsibility depend on the MCC; MCC selects subcontractors on the basis of bidding or contractor appointment. Bidding or appointment of contractors is ultimately regulated in the Bidding Law. Bid preparation will include requirements documents, in which the project owner will require to do what works, how economic and technical efficiency, progress on time, construction design, evaluation of works. What is the project’s environmental impact? Perhaps you do not understand what the required documents are, “said judge Truong Viet Toan.

According to Judge Truong Viet Toan, the selection of contractors, appointment contractors or tenders are all governed by the Bidding Law; In the initial steps, there are bids, in the bidding documents there are requirements.

“I asked to see how the pressure is. Because all the defendants at TISCO declared the selection of VINAINCON, this is an incompetent and inexperienced unit. And based on that dossier of request, how VINAINCON responded according to the required dossier, to see if it is true or not, ”said judge Truong Viet Toan.

Meanwhile, Mr. Hoang Chi Cuong continues to affirm that his business is a subcontractor and has never received the required documents from TISCO and MCC.

Judge Truong Viet Toan continued to prosecute: “So on what basis to sign a three-party contract?”

“Signing a 3-party contract on the basis of the capacity and experience of VINAINCON for the previous works done”, said representative of VINAINCON.

Judge Truong Viet Toan interrupted: “But, in reality, there are things that cannot be empiricist. How do you see the specific capabilities of VINAINCON in this project? “

Please be presented more, Mr. Hoang Chi Cuong said that VINAINCON has done many great projects since the 1960s, such as Apatite Lao Cai, participated in the construction of Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Area from the beginning, Supe Lam Thao, steel, hydropower …

“Those are achievements, this is not a meeting to raise achievements and reward for emulation”, judge Truong Viet Toan asked Mr. Cuong to focus on the question …

On April 14, the Police Department of Thu Duc City (Ho Chi Minh City) prosecuted the case, prosecuted the accused and executed the arrest warrant of Le Chi Thanh (38 years old, temporarily residing in District 12) for the crime of public service executor under Article 330 of the Penal Code.

Readers suggested to be strictly punished

Readers Nguyen Van Dep commented on online newspaper Law of Ho Chi Minh City as follows: “Once being a police officer, but having such extravagant actions, it is unacceptable, it is necessary to strictly deal with it as an example”.

Another reader wrote: “When someone violates the law, if you shoot for evidence, it is okay to have a standard duty place point the camera at, deliberately misrepresenting it.” “The price has to be paid, the matter is sooner or later. Always think that you are talented, do not consider other people anything. It is necessary to handle it very seriously to be an example ”- Nam wrote.

Cases that cause public frustration

Most recently, on March 20, while patrolling and controlling on the Hanoi highway (Hiep Phu ward, Thu Duc city), the Rach Chiec Traffic Police Team discovered the car number plate 51H-108.21 entering the two-wheeled lane. should request a stop for inspection.
