The Government has been asked to compel Taiwanese firm Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Co.
Ltd to
compensate losses incurred by locals when it released toxic water into
the ocean in April.
Chairman of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung yesterday announced that
the Taiwanese Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation was
responsible for the massive fish deaths in several central Vietnamese
provinces in the past few months.
After being unable to sell their catches for many days due to the mass
fish deaths, fishermen in the central provinces of Ha Tinh and Quang
Binh have been thrown a lifeline by businesses coming forward to buy
from them.
