Federcaccia provides a concrete contribution in the confrontation between the Regions and the Government. A detailed and in-depth legal opinion that highlights the multiple illegitimacy of the CDM provision of last January 20. This is what FIdC, with the sharing of the other recognized AAVVs, provided to the Regions in view of the meeting of 10 February between the Councilors and Ministers Martina and Galletti.
Pending the meeting scheduled between the competent Councilors for the hunting of the Regions of Marche, Tuscany, Umbria, Veneto, Liguria and Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Ministers Gianluca Galletti and Maurizio Martina regarding the resolutions passed by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers last January 20 on the proposal of the President of the Council of Ministers and the Minister of Environment and Protection of the Territory and the Sea, modification of some regional hunting calendars with the introduction of the early closure of the woodcock hunting, the song thrush and the Cesena, the Italian Federation of Hunting, which immediately expressed its support for the Regions concerned, did not limit itself to words, but provided them with concrete legal support. Not only dismay, but also firm determination to see the rules of scientific and legal rigor that must always supervise the exercise of public powers respected: it is in this spirit that on the initiative of the FIdC - which the ANLC later joined, Enalcaccia, ANUUMigratoristi and Arci Caccia - a full-bodied and extremely detailed legal opinion was thus acquired from Studio Morbidelli - Bruni of Florence, which highlights the multiple illegitimacy that invalidate the extraordinary measure unexpectedly adopted by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, in via d urgency, to change the empire of some of the regional hunting calendars, making it available to the Regions concerned as early as last week.
Italian Federation of Hunting and with it the other participating Hunting Associations hope that the document, whose arguments appear to be objectively shared, will support the initiatives that the Regions intend to adopt. It is only with the support of science and knowledge, in this legal case, and not with proclamations that speak to the belly of the hunters but of little interest to the legislators, that the serious and credible hunting world can think of seeing the rules recognized and applied in all Europe regulate hunting in the countries of the Union, under the banner of certainty and the inviolability of the law.
Beyond the contingent litigation, to the recognition of the validity of hunting calendars by now past, we want to underline that Federcaccia's position is the firm defense of a question of principle that should also be respected in the drafting of the next hunting calendars. A principle that involves the autonomy of the Regions in all constitutionally envisaged fields; the respect by the State of the national and international regulations in force, of the rules and lines of action in the environmental wildlife field established by that European Union to which our country has freely chosen to adhere.
