VN Government issues new decree on multi-level marketing plansThe Government has issued a new decree which it says will help build a "clean and transparent multi-level marketing environment". Therefore, on March 12, 2018, the government issued Decree 40/2018/ND-CP to promote the management of business activities, replacing Decree 42. This ban will protect the interests of consumers and genuine multi-level marketing enterprises, he said. The new decree prohibits businesses from providing false or misleading information about the benefits of participating in multi-level marketing, features and uses of goods, as well as activities of multi-level marketing businesses. On the other hand, the State also bans organisation of seminars, conferences and training courses on the multi-level marketing model without the authorisation of the multi-level marketing enterprises.
