I will now move on to another subject.
We know what has happened in Europe with the seal hunt. A complaint was filed with the World Trade Organization. I have the feeling we will have to be proactive and show some leadership rather than simply dealing with the complaint at the WTO. Then we have our own opponents, the abolitionists, who are also very active on this issue. You saw them as I did. They are still spreading their lies and saying whatever they like. They are stirring things up.
What interests me at the moment is what the department, and you as its minister, intend to do on this issue. What are your very short-term intentions? Do you intend to organize a meeting to bring together the stakeholders—and I mean all stakeholders—so that we will finally have a strategic plan? We have to stop saying “let's wait and see“ as we have done for the last 30 years and show some leadership.
