Hunting: Lombardy, hunting and other sectors return to the competence of the Region in the context of the reform of local autonomies.
The Lombardy Regional Government has approved the draft law for the reform of the autonomy system in implementation of the Delrio Law. The text, which is now being sent to the Regional Council for definitive approval, provides for the reorganization of the functions conferred on the Provinces. "We have decided - explained the president Roberto Maroni - to follow the principle of confirming the competences attributed to the Provinces, with some exceptions: Agriculture, Forests, Hunting and Pesca are transferred back to the Region. This is valid for all the Provinces, except for the Metropolitan City of Milan and the Province of Sondrio ”. Continuing, Maroni said, “We have decided to follow the principle of confirming most of the competences attributed to the Provinces with two exceptions. The competences on agriculture, forestry, hunting and fishing will be transferred back to the Region, except for the Metropolitan City of Milan and the Province of Sondrio ”. The draft law, the Lombard president underlined, "takes into account the specificity of the territories". "The Metropolitan City of Milan - he deepened - exercises all the functions already conferred on the Province of Milan (including those in Agriculture, Forests, Hunting and Fishing) and additional functions with respect to the fundamental ones provided for by the Delrio Law, because this new body is something very different from the new Provinces ”.
The other 'exception' concerns the Province of Sondrio, one of the three Italian provinces, the only one in Lombardy, recognized as 'mountain provinces'. As a Region - Maroni pointed out - we wanted to recognize this specificity, adding 'particular forms of autonomy' and conferring functions other than the fundamental ones and a progressive increase in financial availability ”. “Here - he announced - I want to create a 'model' of what the Lombardy Region would be like if it had a special statute. The Province of Sondrio must become a sort of autonomous Province like Trento and the Canton of Grisons ”.
"Among the decisions taken in implementation of the Budget law approved by the Regional Council - added Maroni - there are the procedures for issuing the card for mushroom picking: with 2015 it will be only one for the entire regional territory, it will be valid for 5 years and it will be free ". “In this way - explained Maroni - we will also be able to overcome the differences in the criteria up to now due to the release by the Municipalities. The "regional" validity will simplify things a lot ".
