The ATC (Territorial hunting areas) are nineteen and born in "a social, economic and cultural context very different from the current one", a context "no longer current". There is therefore "a need to review the fundamental structural and organizational characteristics", there is a need "to think and operate as soon as possible a radical reform of the ATC system". And in all this, "we cannot then neglect the institutional dynamics currently being defined relating to the Provinces and the fate of the competences entrusted to them, including hunting". The Region has set itself the objective "to initiate the reform of the Tuscan ATC system"; a reform that "must certainly concern all the organizational and managerial aspects of the sector and it is the intention of the Regional Council to start the revision process". In a nutshell, what is contained in the reply of the councilor for agriculture, who also has expertise in hunting, Gianni Salvadori, to the question presented by the group leader of PT / Nuovo Centrodestra, Antonio Gambetta Vianna.
«Our question - explains the exponent of the Nuovo Center Right - was born regarding the mismanagement of the Atc in Tuscany. From press reports, in fact, it became known that the president of the ATC 19 was arrested and that the Public Prosecutor of Arezzo is investigating some members of the management committee of the ATC 3. Furthermore, we understand that the Province of Grosseto has decided to buy an ultrasound system to use “to improve the effectiveness of containment interventions boar", Without fully understanding the destination of this purchase. The councilor's reply practically confirms the doubts raised in the act presented last month ».
Gambetta Vianna, therefore, has decided to present a motion for a resolution «aimed at a significant reduction of the Tuscan ATCs. In fact, since there are ten Provinces beyond the reform, I don't see why the ATCs should be nineteen. I am sure that a smaller number of territorial hunting areas would allow easier control in their administration, significantly reducing the risks of mismanagement. Furthermore, let's not forget, in the name of the spending review, the reduction in costs that would entail their passage from nineteen to ten. For this commitment, the Giunta is committed to the modification of article 14 paragraph 6 of Law no. 157 of 11 February 1992 ».
