TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Minister Susi Pudjiastuti urged the European Union to impose a warning on Vietnam over the constant practice of illegal fishing in Indonesian waters.

“We will push for Europe to once again punish Vietnam with a yellow card for illegal fishing,” said Susi at the Halim Perdanakusuma Airport on Tuesday, April 30.

The latest case involving illegal fishing in Indonesian waters by fishing boats flying the Vietnam flag happened in North Natuna, which ended in the Indonesian Navy ship KRI Tjiptadi-381 being rammed by a Vietnamese coast guard vessel.

This incident, said the minister, is seen as an attempt to hamper the Navy’s law enforcement against the illegal fishing boat the coast guard was allegedly protecting. However, Vietnam also claims the area where the incident took place as their territory.

“With that sort of incident, they should not be let off of the yellow card [they previously earned] for continuing to conduct illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing,” said the minister.

Minister Susi’s frustration is justifiable since there have been four cases of Vietnam-flag fishing boats illegally fishing over Indonesian waters that ended up in a chase between the illegal boats and Indonesian authorities.

Prior to the incident, Susi Pudjiastuti constantly warned that Vietnam fishing boats should not conduct activities over the disputed area before a final decision is made and that the Indonesian Navy’s action in towing the fishing boat is justifiable.

EU and West respect Vietnam, because they know we will give a damn about their decision if they dare to ban Vietnam export.

The biggest and most important EU state Germany dared not do anything to harm its relationship with Vietnam after we abducted the corruption criminal Trinh Xuân Thanh on German soil, although it cried loudly after that. Honestly, with all my respect to our Indonesian friends, I do not believe Indonesian government is serious in thinking that EU will do anything in your favor which can damage their relationship with Vietnam.

LOL vietnam is not even a major eu partner & they already give vietnam a yellow card for illegal fishing thanks to our minister's efforts.

If the yellow card rule is the same as soccer then vietnam will be banned from selling fish to eu ever again.

Except the US and China, every country, including Japan and Germany, are just small fish on international stage. No country depends too much on them for anything. Vietnam is of course not a big partner of EU, but so is Indonesia.

Economically, Vietnam is the biggest trading partner of China and the US in Asean, and very likely of the EU as well in near future.

Militarily or technologically, I do not think anyone bother to compare Indonesia and Vietnam.

Sis, as a friend I reveal a secret to you, to the people of Indonesia: Chinese consider all non-sinic civilizations as uneducated barbaric folks, aka niggers. Sorry for my wordings. Don’t blame us, pls blame the chinese. They invented such stuff.

LOL china & us doesn't even consider vietnam as anything but a pawn in their chess game. Vietnam have no bargaining power other than being used as a puppet.

Indonesia however is a regional power with a global reach that can lobby the world powers to pursue our interests.

Damn right nobody would compare you guys to us.

EU cannot do much to punish Vietnam except sending some @Viet clowns back to motherland
