Federcaccia, the Environment Commission replies to Mr Briano's question on the use of regional data to set the periods of hunting to song thrush and cesena.
Commissioner Vella legitimizes the application of paragraph 2.7.10 of the EU Hunting Guide. His words, however, raise doubts regarding the completeness of the report sent by the Ministry of the Environment. The Environment Commission replied to the question of the Honorable Briano regarding the use of regional data to fix the hunting seasons for species song thrush and Cesena providing for the closure of the levy on January 31 in some Italian Regions. On 1 April, the European parliamentarian the Honorable Renata Briano, in collaboration with the FIdC Bird Migration Office and the ANLC Legislative Technical Office, presented a detailed question to the European Environment Commission to clarify whether the use of paragraph 2.7.10 of the Guide to the regulation of EU hunting was legitimate in the opinion of the Commission itself. The response of Commissioner Karmenu Vella clarified that the use of this paragraph is legitimate provided that scientific studies or technical data are available that certify a difference in the start dates of the pre-nuptial migration, in clearly distinguishable Regions, from the national Key Concept data. The second part of his answer, however, expresses doubts in relation to the use by the Italian Regions of this faculty.
It is logical to assume that in the EU PILOT 6955/14 / ENVI procedure, the Ministry of the Environment did not provide a complete picture of the work of the Regions to the Commission, and did not support the validity of the scientific studies used by most of the Regions of our Paese, for the closure on January 31 of the song thrush, the cesena and in some cases the woodcock; studies that have allowed the Regions themselves to have the correctness of their hunting calendars recognized several times before the TARs and the Council of State. A circumstance that also highlights, it should be emphasized, the need on the part of the Regions to have updated and as complete data on the wildlife of their territory.
Even more unjustified therefore, appears the forcing implemented by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers which imposed the closure of the hunt on January 20 for the three species, when it is again evident that the Commission is still undergoing an in-depth evaluation of the choices. of the Regions. In thanking the Honorable Renata Briano for the initiative, the Avifauna Migratory Office and the ANLC Legislative Technical Office will continue with her on the path of collaboration to inform the Commission on the validity of the studies used by the Italian Regions with the aim of concluding favorably the 'process of the EU PILOT procedure.

A law yet to be discussed. The European Commission is unduly and unacceptably interfering in the work of the Government and Parliament. It's unheard of that the European Commission intervened—certainly urged by the usual suspects—on a law that still has to...
