The EU banned seal products in 2010, saying seal hunting, which can involve clubbing seals on the head, causes unavoidable pain and distress.

A year before the ban was imposed, it was challenged by major seal-hunting countries Canada and Norway. Canada and Norway, which is not an EU member, said seal hunting is done in an ethical manner and argued that the ruling set a dangerous precedent because trade decisions were being made on the basis of morality rather than science. Canada protested again after Thursday's ruling.
