Vietnam is taking steps to remove the European Commission’s ‘yellow card’ on its seafood products due to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The government, ministries, and localities have adopted various solutions since 2017 to combat IUU fishing, as highlighted by the inclusion of all EC recommendations in the Law on Fisheries.
