Once again the TAR is called to decide on issues in the hunting field to put an end to the disputes that have arisen between the various groups or entities; it is therefore a clash between the Lombardy Region and the Province of Mantua which would not want foreign hunters in its own territories.
Apparently this hunting season wants to be remembered for the continuous involvement of the TARs from all over Italy called to decide on issues of various kinds in the common context of hunting.
This time it is the turn of the Administrative Court of Lombardy called to evaluate the appeal presented by the Province of Mantua against the derogation granted by the Lombardy Region which authorized hunters from Brescia to be able to practice hunting in the Mantuan territories.
The Province of Mantua thus opposed the resolution by challenging it right before the TAR in order to prohibit the "trespassing" of Brescia hunters in the upper Mantua area.
The reasons for the appeal concern the total number of hunters who would go on to insist on a relatively small territory and with a density of hunting practitioners which is already high in itself; in numbers we would speak of 234 Brescia hunters authorized by derogation from the Region to be able to trespass in the upper Mantua which would be added to the 5.874 local hunters.
According to the Province of Mantua, the number of foreign hunters added to the local ones would be extremely harmful to the balance of the local fauna.
The judges of the TAR, however, ruled against the Province of Mantua, rejecting the appeal, thus authorizing the Brescia hunters to be able to hunt in the territories of the neighboring region, except for a further appeal to the Council of State by the Province of Mantua.
The decision of the Administrative Court is motivated first and foremost by the fact that the protection of the environment and the ecosystem is a matter of exclusive competence of the State, moreover the exemption granted by the Lombardy Region Pirellone cannot be assessed as a reason for decompensation to the bird heritage precisely because the transitory value of the measure itself which is a derogation, therefore temporary, and not a permanent measure.
