The related provision relating to fines is also stated on the Criminal Code and the Decree of Administration Fines and Punishments 7 July 1995. This is also considered as a weakness of the Decree of the Government of Vietnam on the regulation of fishing activity of foreign vessels in the marine areas of Vietnam, 22 December 1990, while the fine provisions need to be invoked from other instruments.
