Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

On September 16, 2009 the European parliament passed regulation number 1007 prohibiting the import of seal products to European markets, which was a great success for the animal welfare activist lobby and European environmentalists, but has proved lethal for Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic. Since the European ban was implemented Inuit communities have suffered significantly, as selling seal products is a crucial part of their economy. As a result of this ban Canada filed a complaint against the European Communities with the WTO Dispute Settlement Body and unsuccessfully tried to abolish the legislation. The main goal of the following thesis is to create an unbiased overview of the seal hunting debate with the Inuit and Canadian federal government on one side and the European Union and animal welfare groups on the other. The aim is to compare the interests of the involved parties and the methods and arguments they used to promote their agenda, with the hope of finding out whether there is compatibility between the currently conflicting views on sustainable development.
