All projects Camera the subject of hunting is being addressed from a legislative point of view, a little debated issue which has been highlighted by the Honorable Maria Cristina Caretta (Brothers of Italy), number one of CONFAVI. This is the amendment tabled by Giuseppina Occhionero of Liberi e Uguali, specifically the one that aims to change theArticle 18 of Law 157 of 1992. In particular, the aim is to add the adjective "binding" to the second sentence of the second paragraph, immediately after the words "subject to opinion".
Furthermore, the words could be inserted in the fourth paragraph of the same article "Subject to the binding opinion of the institute" instead of "heard the institute". The clear reference is to ISPRA (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research), a body that has often shown that it is not very in tune with the world of hunting. Mr Caretta has published on this subject a note on social media.
Here is what you can read: "With this amendment presented by the deputy Occhionero di Liberi e Uguali to the Bill" Provisions for the fulfillment of the obligations deriving from Italy's membership of the European Union - European Law 2018 "it is requested that the regions can change the terms of the withdrawal periods of certain species "PREVIO BINDING OPINION OF ISPRA" while today the regions can do so with a non-binding opinion of ISPRA. In addition, ISPRA's BINDING OPINION is also requested on hunting calendars. In Agriculture Commission of the Chamber of Deputies we have expressed an OPPOSITE opinion to this amendment… let's get ready to do battle in the Chamber !!! ”.
