Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper organized the seminar "Join hands to remove the yellow card for Vietnamese seafood"

Speaking at the opening of the discussion, Mr. Nguyen Duc Hien, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper, said that since 2017, Vietnam has been given a yellow card by the European Commission (EC) for its seafood industry. Since then, Vietnam has suffered billions of dollars in losses due to export restrictions.

Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, together with relevant ministries and sectors, is in the process of drafting and amending Decrees guiding the implementation of the Fisheries Law, policies to support the development of fishing vessels and career conversion. At the same time, additional tools and means will be provided on fishing vessels to monitor fishing, enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement at sea.
