Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has demanded efforts be ramped up to eradicate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing while leaders of poor-performing localities be stringently handled as a European Commission (EC) delegation will come to Vietnam for the fifth inspection this October. He made the request while chairing a meeting held on August 28 to review results of the IUU fishing combat in efforts to have the EC’s ‘yellow card’ warning lifted. The event was connected with all the 28 coastal provinces and cities via videoconference.
