No restriction

And this "excessive" freedom has led to the elimination of numerous recognized hunting associations (including ARCI CACCIA), as well as representatives of the animal rights and agricultural sectors, from the CTFVN. Attorney Matteo Valente, who filed the appeal to the Council of State on behalf of ARCI CACCIA, highlights the importance of the ruling: "With it, the Administrative Judges pointedly noted that the case at issue is a clear case in which the legislator has abdicated its prerogatives, granting the Ministry unlimited scope and allowing it to amend, with a "simple" decree, a Committee established by a national law. In this way, a lower-level provision has been granted unrestricted power to intervene on a higher-level provision."
The position of Arci Caccia
President Maffei expressed his satisfaction, noting that "Pluralism within the CTFV is a value firmly established by Law 152 of 1992, and which the Ministry has undermined by limiting the representativeness of hunting associations and the principle of democracy. We confidently await the Constitutional Court's ruling."
