EC to Ban Some Fur Imports: The European Community, ignoring U.S. and Canadian demands for a delay, agreed to ban imports of animal fur from countries using inhumane leg-hold traps, beginning in 1995. But under heavy pressure from France, EC environmental ministers decided to put off outlawing the traps in the EC itself until 1995--two years later than planned. France expects fierce opposition to an outright ban from a powerful domestic hunting lobby. The traps are widely used in parts of the United States, Canada and the Soviet Union.
