"Madam President, for the ECR, WTO compliance was the most important point and, as a result, we can therefore support the deletion of the MRM exemption. It was also vitally important for us that we clarified the wording around the Inuit exemption so that they cannot only eat the seals that they hunt, but also make a living from those seal products. This is vitally important for the survival of Inuit communities, particularly in Greenland, where there is no other source of income. We have also upheld the original seal ban and the EU’s commitment to strong animal welfare legislation from the original ban a few years ago. From the ECR point of view that is also very important.
Finally, in line with the ECR commitment for better regulation, I think it is vitally important that we have now put requirements on the Commission to study the effect of these changes, and particularly the effect of the changes in relation to the previous legislation so that we can go forward with better legislation in the future.
So from the ECR Group, we supported the Commission proposal, we are supportive of the agreement and we think this is a good step for the future."@en1
