The European Parliament approved in plenary on 8 September 2015 stronger rules to protect seals from being hunted for their fur. The new rules extend the ban to products resulting from hunts to protect fishing stocks, although Inuit and other indigenous communities were set to continue to be exempt from the ban. These changes, already agreed with the Council of the European Union, were needed to bring EU regulation in line with World Trade Organization rules. |
