14/02/2011 (Agence Europe) - Canada appeals to WTO against EU over seal-hunting. On 11 February, Canada lodged an official complaint at the World Trade Organisation against the EU's embargo on seal products introduced in July 2009 under pressure from animal welfare activists outraged at the cruelty of seal-hunting. The EU completely bans the sale of products from commercial seal-hunting in Canada or anywhere else in the world. (E.H./transl.fl)
