HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has asked the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) to build a 180-day action plan to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, as recommended by the European Commission (EC), and submit it to him and the Government for approval and implementation.

MARD, the Standing Board of the National Steering Committee on IUU Prevention and Control, was also ordered to deploy inter-sectoral inspection teams to coastal localities to examine the implementation of regulations against IUU fishing and give guidelines to settle problems, according to a Government Office’s notice based on the conclusions of PM Chính at a recent conference on IUU fishing.
