Massive death of fish in Vietnam’s central coastal region in April-June, 2016 due to polluted water with toxic waste discharged by Taiwanese Formosa steel plant

The government of Vietnam should consider the existence of Taiwan-invested Formosa project to ensure no repeated environmental violations, according to a lawmaker.
Lawmaker Tran Hoang Ngan said on the sidelines of the first session of the country’s highest legislature National Assembly (NA)’s 14th tenure that Formosa should not be allowed to continue operating in Vietnam because its violations will cause long-term damage to Vietnam’s sea and marine economy.
Vietnam’s lawmakers, including Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan of the NA have raised concerns about long-term impacts on the environment and people’s livelihood after violations of Taiwan-invested Formosa Hung Nghiep Ha Tinh Steel Corporation.
At the ongoing session of the NA’s 14th tenure, the lawmakers have mentioned the Formosa’s discharging of untreated waste into the sea off Vietnam central coast from Ha Tinh to Thua Thien-Hue provinces and warned of serious consequences that may last for generations.
The NA’s chief mentioned in the speech of the opening session that the Formosa-caused environmental incident has resulted in uncountable impacts on the economy and people’s life.
President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Nguyen Thien Nhan said that the government needs to thoroughly solve the Formosa case to ease public indignation which has been flared up following the obvious violations of the Taiwanese company.
Prominent lawmaker Truong Trong Nghia said on the sidelines of the NA’s ongoing meeting that Vietnam should set up an independent agency to investigate the operation of Formosa to point out responsibilities of the main involvers.
Earlier in the announcement of the Vietnam Annual Economic Report last week, Doctor Nguyen Duc Thanh, head of Vietnam Centre for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR), said the Formosa case may cause shocks to Vietnam’s economy.
However, one person who licensed Formosa steel complex project and approved an illegal 70-year land lease contract to Formosa Vo Kim Cu has kept silent at the NA’s meeting, evading all questions from local reporters.
The government of Vietnam has demanded Formosa to recompense VND11 trillion ($500 million) for its sea poisoning but yet to find out individuals or organizations who assume responsibilities for Formosa’s violating operations.
