The draft Advertising Law in Vietnam proposes several changes from existing regulations. Goods prohibited from advertising would now include alcohol above 15% alcohol content. Prohibited advertising acts would increase from 8 to 16, now including ads with gender or disability preconceptions and absolute claims. Foreign language in ads cannot exceed 50% of the ad size and Vietnamese must be read first. Advertisement contents will need to be truthful and not cause harm. The law establishes an Advertising Appraisal Council to review ads and licensing of ad forms and contents will continue, though details are unclear. Advertising by foreign entities operating in Vietnam or engaging Vietnamese firms would be allowed but subject to the Advertising Law.
This document summarizes key challenges and recommendations for the European wine and spirits industry in Vietnam.

Reducing transaction costs associated with sanitary and phytosanitary requirements is important for facilitating agricultural trade. The SPS Agreement aims to reduce non-tariff barriers related to food safety standards. However, complex requirements for risk assessments and private standards add to transaction costs. Trade facilitation through streamlining procedures, infrastructure development, and coordination across agencies can help lower these costs. Actions are needed at the firm, industry association, national and regional levels to address sanitary barriers and better enable countries to trade to their full potential.

This document summarizes Christine Wieck's presentation on facilitating safe agricultural trade based on experiences from EU integration. The presentation outlines how agricultural trade has increased over time but safety regulations create transaction costs. It discusses strategies countries use to cooperate on food safety standards, from coordination and equivalence to harmonization. The EU provides an example of deep integration where food law has gradually harmonized over 28 countries to establish a single market and common food safety system while balancing trade and health.
The document discusses Mongolia's draft safeguard regulation and the importance of trade remedy measures. It summarizes that the draft regulation would establish clear rules and procedures for Mongolia to impose temporary safeguard measures to protect local producers from increased imports causing serious injury.

The document also recommends Mongolia adopt antidumping and countervailing duty regulations to complement the safeguard measures and provide a more precise tool to address unfairly traded imports from specific countries.
The agreement will extensively liberalize trade in goods between the EU and Mercosur. It establishes rules of origin to facilitate trade and outlines customs and trade procedures to expedite the flow of goods. It includes provisions for addressing unfair trade practices and increases in imports. The agreement also enhances sanitary and phytosanitary cooperation while upholding food safety standards and establishes dialogues on issues like animal welfare and agricultural biotechnology.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
