Fake news. There's a proposal from March, it is not a law. And it's so stupid that it bans production, not import (just to fuck over an already stalling economy)

But don't spread fake news.

Edit: found article on sole24ore. You are right and our government is a bunch of retarded.

Edit2: https://www.linkiesta.it/2023/12/mattarella-legge-carne-coltivata-servira-prima-lok-dellue/ This article says that our beloved president Mattarella did not sign it and sent it to Brussel for review.

BBC article states "Italian MPs have voted to back a law banning the production, sale or import of cultivated meat or animal feed, in what the right-wing government calls a defence of Italian tradition."

I'm Italian, no news is speaking about it. Last articles are from 28-29 March talking about a proposal, so not yet law.

It’s a law now, albeit probably it’s not really applicable and the EU will give us trouble the first time a European company appeals, because it limits the EU market and has not been accepted preventive by the EU.

Dio cane che ritardo mentale.

Non ho trovato articoli comunque, grazie

Ora dicono questo: https://www.linkiesta.it/2023/12/mattarella-legge-carne-coltivata-servira-prima-lok-dellue/

It’s even worse, the government approved the law but they didn’t notify it to EU neither sent it to Mattarella to sign it, so it could not be enforced… Retards

Not even the first time that they don't know the right procedure to do one of the most basic stuff of their job

All of these links say yes, it's a law that the sale and production of synthetic meat is banned in Italy.
