z42 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 The EU needs to grow a pair and dish out the red card now. Aside from the odd short lived crackdown its been the usual horrible business. The enforcement arm here simply don't look interested in cleaning it all up properly, and too many corrupt / influential bigwigs calling the tune. The EU is a shower of an outfit, i hope they do something positive for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadGeordie Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 It appears they are at least getting views from other sources than the Junta. Quote below is from Andy Hall's Fbook page. "This afternoon MWRN international affairs advisor Andy Hall & MWRN Vice President Aung Jaw met with visiting EU IUU fishing delegation. MWRN explained to the visiting EU Parliamentary delegation challenges of migrant workers in Thailand re: policy & practice at the EU delegation Wireless Road."

Of course! In fact, I've had a sneak preview of the official Thai statement on the matter and it reads: 'The EU not only find our fisheries policies and practices to be in line with the highest standards, but to be exemplary and an inspiration to the rest of the world'!
