The Issue of Admissibility of Ritual Slaughter in EU Law

Abstract:

The article presents the issue of ritual slaughter of animals as a manifestation of the freedom of conscience and religion, which is partially regulated in the law of the European Union. This practice is a centuries-old tradition of Judaism and Islam in which the carotid artery of an animal is cut without prior stunning in order to obtain kosher / halal meat. In this paper, the primary and secondary law of the European Union was analysed in the light of the relevant jurisprudence of the Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. The main conclusion of the analysis is that there is a significant margin of appreciation of the Member States in this respect, and thus the limitation and prohibition of ritual slaughter is in line with European Union law.
