However, the authorities pointed out that under Prime Minister's Directive No. 01/1998/CT-TTg the use of explosives, electrocution, and toxins to exploit aquatic resources was strictly banned and the Ministry of Fisheries (now the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), in coordination with other ministries, established a Central Steering Committee to implement the ban. Since then the Committee has issued a number of documents on the implementation of Directive No. 01/1998/CT-TTg, including Document No. 481CV/BVNL of 18 February 1998, which requested the provincial and city peoples' committees to implement the Directive and establish local committees for this purpose.
