These efforts, together with comprehensive reform of the fishing industry, have been recognized internationally and on 8 January 2019, the EU formally announced the lifting of a yellow card for Thailand in recognition of the substantive progress the country has made in tackling illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing since 2015.
