Seal products ban in EU

Published: 6 May 2009 y., Wednesday

550 EU lawmakers - the vast majority - voted in favour of a ban on the import of all seal products.

 

The parliament dismissed calls for a partial ban coupled with clear labelling as "not enough".

 

900,000 seals are hunted every year - 60 per cent of them by Canada, Greenland and Namibia.
