Vietnam adopts EU recommendations to combat IUU fishing
2019.11.25
Viet Nam had taken concrete steps in the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) based on the European Council's (EC) recommendations, said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Đuc Tien.
A national committee was founded in May to co-ordinate efforts made by central agencies and local authorities to combat IUU. Viet Nam’s 28 coastal towns and provinces have each established their own anti-IUU units to supervise and inspect fishing activities. Fishing boats coming in and out of seaports are being asked to file reports on their cargoes, origin of product and ships' logs.
