The European Commission (EC) will visit Vietnam at the end of October to assess the implementation of recommendations on illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and aquaculture infrastructure. This is an opportunity for Vietnam to remove the IUU “yellow card” imposed by the EC. According to the “Prevention and combat against IUU fishing to 2025” project, which was recently approved by Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh, all fishing vessels operating at sea must be equipped with cruise monitoring equipment.
