On December 10, 2014, the Constitutional Court (CC) announced its verdict that a ban on ritual slaughter is unconstitutional. In justification of the ruling the CC explained that the prohibition of ritual slaughter is not justified neither by the constitutional premise of health nor the need to protect public morals. According to the Polish Minister of Agriculture after publication of the verdict ritual slaughter will be allowed because Poland will be subject to the provisions of the EU Regulation allowing the slaughter of animals without stunning for religious purposes.
