Lorenzo Bertacchi, Chairman of the Provincial section of Bergamo of the Italian Federation of Hunting, intervened with an official statement regarding the possible opening of capture facilities For refueling sasselli and cesene thrushes to be recalledor. Bertacchi referred to the proclamations of another hunting association, explaining how it is not right to deceive hunters and the owners of the same facilities. The other association, theANUUMigrators, had stated that an act of courage by the Ministry of the Environment would be enough for the opening.
Federcaccia Bergamo reiterated that the conditions of the failure to grant exemptions have been known for some time, given that the Lombardy Regional Administrative Court has annulled the latest measures adopted legitimately. One of the main problems is represented by the small quantities and Bertacchi has indicated the three fundamental moments to open the coils. First of all, ISPRA must be notified no later than April 30th, then it is necessary to comply with a possible positive opinion and finally fully justify the opening in the event of a negative opinion.
April 30 has long since passed and the Lombardy Region has not warned the Institute about the opening of the roccoli, therefore the whole procedure becomes impossible. This is why the optimism about the possible legitimacy of the Environment Minister it is only harmful and counterproductive. Federcaccia Bergamo's note concludes by recalling that the promises of opening the roccoli by regional councilors and officials never reached the hunting association.
