LABOUR Lothians-based Euro MP David Martin has backed moves
for the European Union to impose trade sanctions against Canada over
the culling of seal pups.

Mr Martin, Labours international trade spokesman in the European
Parliament, said it was time to stop importing cruelty.

He welcomed comments by Stavros Dimas, European Commissioner
for the Environment, that the EU is considering sanctions.

Mr Martin said: Trade sanctions would help end commercial seal hunting,
a cruel and brutal practice which targets seal pups only a few weeks old.

In 2006, 32 per cent of Canadian seal fur exports went to the EU. With
an EU ban, Canadian sealers would be forced to think twice about their
heartless hunt.
