Taiwan Fishery Agency responds to US DoL blacklisting By Share Taiwan’s fishing authorities have responded to being placed on a U.S. government blacklist by listing a series of measures it introduced in the past year to combat forced labor. In October 2020, the U.S. Labor Department placed Taiwan on its 2020 List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor. In response, Taiwan’s Fisheries Agency has ordered the country’s Department of Transport to ensure that all vessels than 24 meters and longer in length must comply with the International Labour Organization’s Convention 188, also known as the 2007 Work in Fishing Convention. Additionally, Taiwan has added forced labor to its requirements for reporting of cases of human trafficking among foreign crew aboard Taiwanese vessels, it said in a statement to SeafoodSource.
