"I voted in favour of the report on a sustainable EU policy for the High North, which stresses the need to develop a dialogue with indigenous Arctic communities in order to gain more understanding of their living conditions and culture. This idea, which is repeated many times in the text, is crucial. The European Union’s interests must reflect the indigenous peoples’ interests to protect and develop the Arctic region. We call for specific measures to preserve the culture, language and customs of these peoples, something which requires a regular dialogue between their representatives and the EU institutions. We call for the European Commission to safeguard the interests of the indigenous peoples when it negotiates trade agreements. Thus, I deplore the European regulation on the ban on seal products, which goes against the interests – in terms of sustainable management of resources – culture and customs of Arctic communities. This regulation, which has rightly been challenged by Canada and Norway, undermines the European Union’s interests in the Arctic region and should, in my view, be withdrawn."@en1
