5b. Recalls that the IUU regulation is one of the regulations that produces the best results when it comes to improving the sustainability of fisheries management at international level; believes that accepting the adoption of a trade agreement with a country on a 'yellow card' could reduce the impact of the regulation and the EU's role with regard to preserving resources and sustainable management of fisheries on the international stage; takes the view, however, that the EU-Vietnam FTA encourages Vietnam to step up its efforts to quickly establish a regulatory and supervisory framework to effectively tackle IUU fishing;
