1.Taiwan is actively safeguarding the rights and benefits of migrant crew members and there is no tolerate for allegation made under false pretenses

With respect to the documentary "Before you eat" released by Greenpeace Foundation (Greenpeace) on the internet, Taiwan Fisheries Agency (TFA) would like to emphasize that the documentary features footage from Indonesian fishers’union "Serikat Buruh Migran Indonesia" (SBMI) regarding the death of Indonesian crew members on fishing vessels in 2020. However, the documentary was edited and interspersed with footage of fishing vessels flying Taiwanese flag, which potentially led to a misrepresentation that Taiwanese vessels were involved in such incidents. Such edition and misrepresentation also potentially defamed the image and reputation of Taiwan's distant water fisheries. While TFA is responsible for Taiwan's fisheries, the agency opposes against this misrepresentation and requires that Greenpeace shall cautiously produce its documentary with accurate information. The agency urged that Greenpeace shall immediately stop broadcasting the documentary and remake it with proper attention to accuracy.
