Petrol and oil are the main fuel for all activities of the economy. Meanwhile, they are substances potentially causing environmental pollution and high fire and explosion. Recognizing the importance as well as the dangers of this item, Vietnam has classified petrol and oil as one of the commodities subject to business conditions. In order to participate in petrol and oil business, it is necessary to comply with different legal rules. In addition to the legal rules on construction, technology, fire and explosion prevention and fighting, petrol and oil business entities must comply with the legal rules on environmental protection (EP). This thesis provides a critical review of legal rules on EP applicable to petrol and oil business in Vietnam. It analyzes limitations of these rules and argues for major changes of these rules for the improvement in EP.
