In an international press conference hold by the Government
Office of Vietnam on 30th June 2016, the government representatives
announced that Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Co. Ltd (“FHS”) running a 10.6 USD steel complex in North
Central Vietnm admitted their charges in the mass fish deaths across the four
central coastal provinces of Vietnam.
Such an announcement was proven by a
brief video shown at the conference, in which President
of the FHS said that “the test runs as well as test results from
the research and analysis of the inter-disciplinary inspection team under the
direction of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment which includes
Vietnamese and international scientists have all come to conclusion that
incidents within the operation of our factory have caused the environmental
incident that led to the recent mass deaths of fish off the coast of Viet Nam’s
four central provinces.”
