Abstract
On May 6, 2009, the European Parliament passed a legislative resolution regarding the regulation of animal slaughter in the European Union. The resolution addressed a proposal made by the European Commission in September 2008. The Commission's proposal had also been referred to the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), and the latter produced an opinion in its regard on February 25, 2009. The European Parliament's new resolution is an important milestone in the European debate surrounding the slaughter of animals in general and the regulation of ritual slaughter in particular. Against the background of this resolution, we may now assess the unfolding of recent developments in the debate over ritual slaughter in Europe, and highlight a number of issues that have recently been afforded little attention.
