handle is hein.journals/rpanderom2021 and id is 235 raw text is: Curtea de Justitie a Uniunii Europene:
Posibilitatea statelor membre de a introduce
anestezierea prealabila obligatorie
a animalelor sacrificate ritualic.
Raportul cu drepturile si libertatile
religioase garantate prin Carta drepturilor
fundamentale a Uniunii Europene
(CJUE, hotyrarea preliminary din 17 decembrie 2020,
Centraal Israelitisch Consistorie van Belgie s.a.
vs. Vlaamse Regering, cauza nr. C-336/19)
Dr. Andrei DUTU
Pentru a treia oar5 in cursu[ ultimilor ani, Curtea de Justitie a Uniunii Europene (CJUE) este
chemata s5 raspund5 pe cale prejudicia[l cu privire [a raportul dintre bunastarea animalelor
si particularitatile cultelor care impun sacrificarea [or ritualic5, practicata in scop alimentar.
Primele dou5 solutii in acest sens s-au caracterizat printr-o tendinta clara de articulare, sau mai
degrab5 de armonizare, a normelor aplicabile in materie; astfel, in cea dintai (CJUE, hotararea din
29 mai 2018, pronuntata in cauza nr. C-426/16, Liga van Moskeeen en Islamitische Organisaties
Provincie Antwerpen VZW s.a. vs. Vlaams Gewest), s-a stabilit c5 prin reglementari de drept al
Uniunii Europene se poate impune ca sacrificarea ritualic5 s5 se realizeze exclusiv in abatoare
specializate, in masura in care o atare incadrare nu contravine libertatii religioase. Din solutia
propus5 in cea de-a doua speta (CJUE, hotararea din 26 februarie 2019, pronuntata in cauza
nr. C-497/17, OABA vs. Ministre de ['Agriculture et de ['Alimentation, Bionoor SARL, Ecocert France
SAS) reiese c5 certificarea european5 de produs rezu[tat a[ ,agriculturii biologice, care cuprinde
standarde relative [a bunastarea animalelor, nu poate fi atribuit5 celor sacrificate in conditii[e
specifice cerintelor de cult (mozaic sau musulman), far5 ca animalul s5 fie anesteziat in prealabil.
In fine, cea mai recent5 hotarare, pronuntata [a 17 decembrie 2020, abordeaza problema dintr-o
logics oarecum paradoxal-contradictorie; in speta, s-a aratat c5 statele membre care doresc s5
promoveze bunastarea animalelor sunt in acelasi timp in masura s5 elimine exceptia de [a regula
genera[ a obligatiei de anesteziere prealabila, care are in vedere in special practicile religioase
ale sacrificiului ritualic.
