Commerce Min to hold roadshow in several nations, promoting Thai fishery products

BANGKOK, 1 May 2015 (NNT) - The Ministry of Commerce indicated that the kingdom’s seafood exports have yet to be affected by the European Union (EU)’s decision to penalize Thailand with yellow card on Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing.

Deputy Commerce Minister Apiradee Tantraporn stated that in order to prevent further damage from the move, her ministry and local seafood exporters would join hands in organizing a roadshow, aiming to create confidence in Thailand’s seafood products among trading partners.

In the road show, Thailand will ensure foreign importers of her determination to solve the IUU issue within 3 months, well before the 6-month deadline given by the EU expires.

Ms. Apiradee estimated the roadshow would be kicked off in the middle of this month, with initial destinations including Germany, England and France.

Problem solved in 3 months, instead of the 6 they were given? Please tell me WHAT kind of drugs these people are on!

"In the road show, Thailand will ensure foreign importers of her determination to solve the IUU issue within 3 months, well before the 6-month deadline given by the EU expires.'

Just a suggestion but why not solve them first and do your bragging about it later?

It's more convincing.

Don't mention the rust buckets , un-sea worthy boats , the out dated fishing regulations or the slave labour conditions or the living conditions nor human trafficking and the threat from the EU and the reasons why, just the show the lovely coloured packages and their price.

Determination to do something is like a promise and is not equal to actually doing something about it. No impressed with this.

Typical Thai talk. Make promises. They canot back up.

Because this way they get a junket in Europe before they are banned...

After each stop on the road trip will there be the usual ' everyone understands ' statement ?

Their promises hold about as much water as those of young men who promise girls they love them forever, and will take care of them and the baby. Then vanish the first chance they get.

I always associated a roadshow with a circus. Oh wait...

Ms. Apiradee will showcase Thailand's determination with a shrimp cocktail.

I wonder if they follow the path of the TAT and go to Egypt and Jordan where the high profile tourists and consumers live.

Thailand does not need the EU or fear sanctions from them. Thais have a plan.

In the meantime, she said the Commerce Ministry has prepared alternative markets, such as Eastern Europe and the CLMV group, to accommodate Thai fishery products in place of the EU market.

Unbelievably no, Pulling the old faithful 44 out of the bag just wasn't enough

Why don't they just do as they are asked to do , why a f king "Road Show' ? Is the road show to show the world how to Understand Thailand ?

Watch them fail miserably and then blame the world for victimizing poor old Thailand , The Forrest Gump of Nations

Yes, I can understand they are looking for new export countries.
