Regulation of seal stocks

Question for written answer E-002130-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Claus Larsen-Jensen (S&D) , Ole Christensen (S&D)

The initiatives for the conservation and protection of seal stocks in the Baltic Sea, the waters around Denmark and the Danish fjords have proved so effective that species which were once endangered have now grown to such an extent that they pose a risk of overfishing and a threat to viable coastal fisheries in Danish waters and fjords, for example in North Jutland and on Bornholm.

With that in mind, there is now some uncertainty about whether seal stocks may be regulated in line with the international agreements which have been concluded in this area, including the Habitats Directive and other relevant EU legislation.

Can the Commission please confirm:
