The ban was approved by 27 of the 45 seats on Amsterdam’s municipal council and was introduced under a bill jointly tabled by the Party for the Animals and the Green/Left party. The restriction will apply to meat advertising across public spaces within the city and is scheduled to come into force on 1 May.
