carstenp Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Well as i write in another tread i don't think there will be a ban, but today i just read that Thiraphong Chansiri, president and chief executive of Thai Union Group Plc says that Thailand can guarantee that as of January 2016, there is no illegal labour in the Thai fishing industry, and the country does not deserve such a ban. Well why are the CEO's, company's and so on not in jail Edited January 13, 2016 by carstenp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
