VTV.vn - According to the Decree 26, on July 1st, fishing vessels with a length of more than 24m must attach cruise monitoring equipment during the process of offshore fishing.

This is also one of the requirements of the European Commission (EC) to remove the yellow card of aquatic products for Vietnam. However, in many localities, the progress of installing monitoring equipment is slow. The monitoring system of fishing vessels operating on the sea is an important issue for the EC to consider removing the yellow card for Vietnam. If not done well, there could be the risk of being penalized with a Red Card when the EC Inspection Team checks in October.
