"Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Gen Prawit Wongsuwan spoke regarding the Illegal...fishing situation in Thailand,

that the European Union has acknowledge Thailand’s attempt to solve this issue."

"The EU believes the Kingdom's progress is in the right direction."

"He said Thailand was given until this year’s end to solve the situation, according to the EU’s suggestions."

Disinformation from the Propaganda Ministry: NNT

They simply make it up. Speak for others. Standard MO.

In reality, Thailand is up for another evaluation; end of July.

"Foreign Ministry yesterday said the European Union did not reach any decision,

on the red card or yellow card during its latest dialogue with Thailand over illegal,unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing."

The reality is the people in the EU like the cheap seafood you get from Thailand. Nestle put out its own report about these abuses but EU does nothing. My wife's uncle, who is Thai, never came back from one of these fishing jobs. Probably tossed his body into the sea like so many others. Shame on you EU.

Well said. Sorry for your loss to these mongrels.

so given to the end of the year then what?

Just another headline warning for next year.....

Every English language version of an article from NNT should begin with the following words:

"Once upon a time, in a far away land called Siam..."

This would reduce the level of confusion.
