8. There are a number of concerns about the production and placing on the market of laboratory-grown meat. Answers to the questions raised will only be possible on the basis of a comprehensive impact assessment. However, the adverse effects that can be presumed in advance are such as to justify a ban on the production and placing on the market of laboratory-grown meat. However, the uses which may be exempted from the general prohibition should be specified. Such scenarios include medical and veterinary use, taking into account that they may serve, directly or indirectly, to protect human health.

9. In addition to the protection of human health and the environment, the sustainable production of agriculture and the preservation of the traditional rural way of life justify the introduction of regulation.
It is not clear how the safety of cell-based technology can be guaranteed in order to avoid potential health risks for consumers and it is therefore necessary to introduce regulation.
Traditional livestock-based meat production is of paramount importance for the future of the domestic food economy, in particular the sustainability of food production and the retaining power of the countryside. Increased production of laboratory-grown meat can have an adverse impact on the agricultural sector and rural living conditions as a whole.
Furthermore, representative population surveys show that consumer opposition to laboratory-grown meat exceeds the rejection of foods containing insect protein.
