Ministry launches mobile station to supervise Formosa dischargeThe Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment yesterday afternoon put into operation an environmental surveillance station to supervise all waste discharge sources from Taiwanese Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Company (FHS). A recent Government Inspectorate investigation also found Ha Tinh Province had violated regulations in approving the lifespan of the Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Co. Minister Tran Hong Ha instructed the station is placed to supervise all waste discharges from Formosa 24/7 within three years. Next week, the ministry will launch another station at the biochemical waste treatment area of Formosa. He wondered why Formosa decided to invest in steel company considering the industry was declining globally.
