Norway critical to the EU’s proposed ban on trade in seal products
Press release, 22.04.2009
The EU is close to adopting a trade ban on seal products that may be incompatible with international trade rules. The European Parliament will vote on the proposed trade ban during the plenary session in Strasbourg from 4 to 7 May. Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre believes the proposed ban could affect Norway unfairly.
