The Budget Committee of the Chamber, chaired by the Northern League Giancarlo Giorgetti, gave a "contrary" opinion to the amendments to the community bill which aimed to suppress the lengthening of the hunting calendar. Therefore, no to the proposals presented by 25 deputies of the PDL (first signatory Fiorella Ceccacci Rubino), the Democratic Party and the Idv.
Yesterday a letter was sent to the premier, Silvio Berlusconi, where Ceccacci Rubino, together with about thirty party colleagues, threatened to vote against a "free double" and expressed its opposition to the extension of the timetable provided for in the measure.
In the evening, a meeting had reduced the internal clash of the majority on this issue. The rapporteur on the amendment approved in the Agriculture Committee on the hunting calendar, Isidore Gotthard, defined the interpretation given by the opposites of the rule as "biased priority unfair and wrong" and will present a further modification of the rule to make it clear as much as possible that the Regions will be able to postpone the closure of the hunting season for some species but only with the prior, binding opinion of Ispra.
