Abstract

Regulation EC No. 1007/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 banned the placement of seal products in the EU market. The measure has been very controversial, triggering a strong reaction, both from neighboring exporting States, in particular Canada and Norway, and from indigenous people living in the Arctic region. Seal hunting represents a traditional practice carried out for the purpose of personal consumption of seal meat, as well as for commercial trade of related by-products by the indigenous communities (mainly Inuit) living in the Northern Pole.
