FOLLOW -UP QUESTION T O REPLIES1 TO QUESTIONS2 POSED BY THE  
UNITED STATES REGARD ING THE NOTIFICATION  OF VIET NAM3 
The following c ommunication, dated 19 June 2019 , is being circulated at the requ est of the 
delegation of the United States . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The United States thanks Viet Nam for its replies to questions posed by the United States regarding 
Viet Nam’s notification of the Law No. 05/2017/QH14 on Foreign  Trade Management, Decree 
No. 10/2018/ND -CP (Decree), and Circular No. 06/2018/TT -BCT (Circular), and poses the following 
follow -up question:  
 
Question 1  
 
In response to Question 6 regarding procedures for consultations, Viet Nam provided an explanation 
of its practices with regard to public consultations (i.e., hearings). However, Article 13.1 of the 
Decree No. 10/2018/ND -CP (Decree) mentions "separate consultations with interested parties " 
which seem to be different from the public consultations described  in the other paragraphs of 
Article  13. Could Viet  Nam please clarify whether a non -confidential summary or description of 
separate consultations with interested parties described in Article 13.1 of the Decree  will be placed 
on the public record or the non -confidential case file available to interested part ies of the proceeding?
