The Viet Nam Coast Guard (VCG) on October 17 held a conference to launch an intensive campaign aimed at preventing and ending illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing violations.

Efforts to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing must go beyond lifting the European Commission (EC)’s “yellow card” warning to develop a sustainable fisheries sector and protect Viet Nam’s reputation, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stressed at a meeting on September 23.

A peak emulation campaign to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing nationwide was launched in the Mekong Delta province of An Giang on August 12, aiming to promptly prevent fishing vessels and fishermen from encroaching foreign waters.

European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen has just announced the European Union (EU)’s new budget proposal for the 2028–2034 period, with a total value of 2 trillion EUR.

Promptly lifting the illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing “yellow card” is a crucial step for Viet Nam’s fisheries sector and the entire agriculture industry to help safeguard and enhance the nation’s reputation and position while promoting sustainable livelihoods for millions of fishers.

The European Commission (EC) has recently assessed that the European Union (EU) is on the right track in meeting its climate goals for 2030. The “Green Flag” alliance is seen as a global frontrunner in the race to cut emissions.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang has signed a decision issuing an action plan on fighting illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and preparing for working sessions with the fourth inspection delegation of the European Commission (EC).
