BANGKOK Taylor Moton Jersey , Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- About 3,000 fishermen and seafood vendors on Thursday staged a protest against the European Union (EU) for continually pressing Thailand over illegal fishing activity, urging the Thai government to stop doing favors to the Europeans.

The peaceful protest was organized by the Thai Fishery Association and held at the Mae Klong fish market in Samut Songkhram province, about 80 km southwest of Bangkok.

It was against the EU, which has apparently exerted pressure on the Thai government over the illegal and unregulated fishing, better known as IUU Curtis Samuel Jersey , in Thai and international waters in the last two years.

The protesters are mostly fishermen, trawler crewmembers, seafood vendors, workers at Samut Songkhram fish market and businesspersons related to fishing industry.

Thai Fishery Association president Mongkol Sukcharoenkhana charged that the sustained EU pressure had brought enormous trouble to Thailand's fishing industry as a whole despite the fact that most fish and seafoods produced by this country had been traded for domestic consumption rather than exported to EU member states.

Bilateral trade between Thailand and the EU amounted to some 43 billion U.S. dollars yearly, including the exports of Thai fresh and frozen seafood products to EU member states.

Nevertheless, Mongkol called on the Thai government to review its policy against IUU activities and put the interests of the Thai fishermen and others in fishing industry ahead of the EU demands for continued crackdowns on suspected IUU activities.

The authorities have taken measures against IUU activities by monitoring and stopping any unregistered trawlers or unlicensed skippers from going out to sea while migrant workers Christian McCaffrey Jersey , hired as crewmembers aboard the fishing boats, needed to obtain work permits, the president said.

Besides, the anti-IUU measures call for all trawlers to be monitored while sailing in the sea as well as to be reported of leaving and returning to a port.

According to the fishery association chief, Thailand's fishing industry had suffered as much as 500 billion baht (about 14.7 billion U.S. dollars) in losses since the EU began to press for the IUU crackdowns two years ago.

About 3,500 Thai fishing boats have run out of crewmembers Donte Jackson Jersey , mostly being Myanmar migrant workers, due to the EU-pressed crackdowns on IUU activities, he said.

Of a total of about 40,000 Thai fishing vessels, only some 10,600 are currently going out to sea DJ Moore Jersey , leaving nearly 30,000 others idle by ashore, he said.

BAGHDAD, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) denied the reports over postponing the Kurdish independence referendum in the semi-autonomous region, confirming that the referendum would be held as scheduled on Sept. 25.

"The reports about the Kurdish parties accepted the U.S. and UN initiatives and postponed the referendum Cheap Carolina Panthers Hats , are not true," an official from the regional President office told reporters.

The Kurdish official said that the reports quoted Pavel Talabani, the son of former President Jalal Talabani, who was expressing his personal opinion.

Earlier, the Iraqi state-run Iraqiya channel said in a breaking news that "the Kurdish parties decided to postpone the independence referendum," quoting Pavel Talabani Cheap Carolina Panthers T-Shirts , who is also a senior member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).

The reports quoted Pavel Talabani as saying "after reviewing all of the alternatives, we (PUK and KDP, which are two main Kurdish parties) have concluded that the program offered by the United States, Britain, United Nations and so many other friends around the world, is the best path for Kurdistan at this time."

On June 7 Cheap Carolina Panthers Hoodie , the Kurdish President Masoud Barzani announced his intention to hold a referendum on the independence of the Kurdish region from Iraq on Sept. 25.

The independence of Kurdistan is opposed by many countries because it would threaten the integrity of Iraq and because it comes as the Iraqi forces are in fight against the terrorist Islamic State militant group.

In addition, the neighboring countries of Turkey, Iran and Syria see that such a step would threaten their territorial integrity, as larger populations of Kurds live in those countries.
