"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3671468\" data-originallang=\"en\">The important issue is that the seals that have been harvested in Greenland need to qualify under the certification system that's been established. In order to gain access to the EU market, you have to fall under one of the exemptions. So products from Greenland that are harvested by indigenous communities would qualify now that this certification system has been established. They would qualify to be placed on the European market.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3671469\" data-originallang=\"en\"> As far as I know, it doesn't matter where the additional processing or downstream processing takes place, what matters is, for the purposes of qualifying for the Inuit exemption, there are several criteria that relate to the hunter and whether or not the hunter meets this criteria for the Inuit exemption.</p>",

Pour que l\u2019acc\u00e8s au march\u00e9 de l\u2019UE soit accord\u00e9, il faut que l\u2019une des exemptions s\u2019applique. Par cons\u00e9quent, ces produits du Groenland d\u00e9riv\u00e9s des phoques abattus par les Autochtones sont maintenant admissibles aux termes de ce syst\u00e8me de certification. Ils peuvent \u00eatre \u00e9coul\u00e9s sur le march\u00e9 europ\u00e9en.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3671469\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que je sache, peu importe o\u00f9 se font la transformation additionnelle ou la transformation en aval. Ce qui importe, aux fins de l\u2019exemption pr\u00e9vue pour les Inuits, ce sont les crit\u00e8res relatifs au chasseur, c\u2019est de voir si le chasseur satisfait aux crit\u00e8res de cette exemption.</p>"
