2012年WTO争端解决机构就加拿大、挪威诉欧盟海豹禁令措施一案成立专家组。《海豹禁令》下的“土著民族豁免条款”虽使土著民族聚居地区格陵兰的海豹产品全部得以进入欧盟销售,但该豁免条款旨在回应欧盟各成员方在国内法和国际法下所承担的保护土著民族权利的义务,其豁免条件合理,应不违反非歧视的要求。但“海洋资源管理豁免条款”下的非盈利要求并非海洋资源管理的必要条件,对加拿大施加了较高的管制负担,可能被认定为违反TBT协定2.1条。另外,禁令为避免对海豹的非人道方式猎捕,全然禁止海豹产品的进口和销售亦可能被专家组和上诉机构认为不符必要性要求。 In 2012, the WTO Dispute Settlement Body set up an expert group on Canada and Norway v. EU seals ban. Although the “Prohibition of Indigenous Peoples Exemption Clause” under the “Sealing Up Ban” allows all of the seal products in Greenland, a settlement of indigenous peoples, to be marketed in the EU, the exemption clause is intended to respond to the obligations of EU member states under domestic and international law The obligation to protect the rights of indigenous peoples, whose exemptions are reasonable, should not violate the non-discrimination requirement. However, the non-profit requirement under the terms of the exemption of marine resources management is not a necessary condition for the management of marine resources and imposes a high regulatory burden on Canada and may be considered a violation of Article 2.1 of the TBT Agreement. In addition, the bans In order to avoid inhuman hunting of seals, the total ban on the import and sale of marine products may also be considered by expert groups and appellate bodies as not necessary.
