The EU should maintain the current tariff system on imported tuna products from Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam, said Juan Manuel Vieites, Secretary General of ANFACO-CACOPESCA, organizers of the 6th Tuna Conference in Vigo.
These remarks were made Tuesday at the closing ceremony of the conference, keeping in mind the EU is currently negotiating free trade agreements with Thailand.
Maintaining the current tariff system is a "must-have" for regulating access to the EU canned tuna market from third countries, specifically for Asian giants such as Thailand and Vietnam, Vieites said.
