LUXEMBOURG (AP) ? A court says the European Union's ban on importing products from seal hunts can stand, despite a challenge by manufacturers and traders.
EU law authorizes the marketing of seal products resulting only from hunts traditionally conducted by Inuit communities for subsistence.
The General Court of the European Union ruled Thursday that, as different member countries were enacting their own regulations, EU-wide action was needed to preserve the single market.
Rebecca Aldworth, executive director of Humane Society International/Canada, said animal rights activists are "thrilled that the European General Court has rejected this shameful attempt by the commercial sealing industry to overturn the EU ban on seal product trade."
The ruling can be appealed to a higher court.
