The EU's alleged infringement procedure is wholly specious and clearly political anti-hunt. In fact, the letter sent by the EU Commission to the Member States gave a mere address, among other things bound to the adoption of action plans on species and does not provide for the opening of any infringement measure. If anything, the Ministry can tell us why in six years from the EU PILOT 6955/14 procedure it has not been adopted a national plan for the pochard and what actions it has taken to protect the lapwing, considering that the control of predators and unfavorable agricultural practices - and not hunting - are the priority limiting factors, indicated by the same Multispecies International Action Plan.
Another MEP, Massimo Casanova, added further details: "I find it shameful and unacceptable as a citizen and as a hunter, that the Ministry thinks to close the hunt for some species in such a dramatic period for our country. There are also other priorities in environmental matters, given the state of degradation of the habitats and zero interventions to remedy it. The only ones that implement environmental restoration actions they are the hunters themselves. Instead, the Ministry intervenes by proposing to the Government measures aimed at improving and simplifying the control of opportunist species such as wild boar, which is becoming a real scourge for farmers, putting biodiversity itself at risk ”.
