Within the framework of the program, Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper coordinated with Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee to organize a discussion "Strive to remove the "yellow card" for Vietnamese seafood".
At the program, management agencies and experts discussed and clarified the implementation of the European Commission's recommendations on combating illegal fishing in Vietnam up to now; compliance with fishing regulations by fishermen in Thanh Hoa province: efforts from the provincial government; difficulties and obstacles in the implementation of legal regulations and proposed solutions to overcome difficulties in the coming time.
Vice Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee Le Duc Giang spoke at the seminar.
Speaking at the program, Vice Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee Le Duc Giang affirmed: This is a very meaningful and practical program in the context that the entire political system is making efforts to remove the "yellow card" of the European Commission (EC) for Vietnam's seafood industry.
The EC's withdrawal of the yellow card warning has greatly affected Vietnam's image and reputation in the international arena, negatively affecting seafood exports in the European market, causing slow customs clearance, high logistics costs... especially now that other markets such as the US, Japan, and South Korea are applying the EC's yellow card warning.
Based on the discussion opinions of state agencies and experts, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the relevant agencies, local leaders and fishermen to fully absorb the opinions; at the same time, effectively implement Directive No. 32 dated April 10, 2024 of the Secretariat on strengthening the Party's leadership in combating IUU fishing and sustainable development of the fisheries sector, Resolution No. 52 dated April 22, 2024 of the Government on promulgating the Government's Action Program and Plan to implement Directive No. 32 dated April 10, 2024 of the Secretariat and the programs and plans of the province, contributing to the early removal of the yellow card and firmly protecting the sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland.
Comrades: Former Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh; Lai The Nguyen, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation; Nguyen Ngoc Tien, Member of the Standing Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee and the working delegation visited, encouraged and expressed condolences to the families in Quang Nham commune where fishermen died at sea.
