Unfortunately we expected it, one thing is electoral and membership propaganda and another is the harsh reality. For this reason our association did not join the chorus of cheering shouts that followed the announcement of the bills. Both the waivers and the capture of the decoy are serious and deeply felt themes in our Region and cannot be treated lightly. The matter is complex and must be addressed with competence and seriousness. We appreciate the effort of those who have tried, certainly animated by good intentions, but unfortunately the epilogue was almost a foregone conclusion.
We must work to help science do its duty, accumulating data that can also be opposed to official channels because, without scientific evidence of the sustainability of a derogation, Europe's rejection is almost inevitable. In this case, even the drama took place in the majority that governs in the Region. In fact, this legislative initiative by some regional councilors of the Lega and the FdI only served to pay off an electoral debt towards ANUU and ACL; the proposal has bypassed the path of Councilor Rolfi, intent on weaving a less conflictual relationship with ISPRA and aimed at seeking alliances with other regions within the State-Regions Conference.
ARCI-Regional hunting supported the opinion that the "derogations" mechanism, used for a few years in recent decades and then cut by the EU and sanctioned, was no longer a viable path. And that the only possibility was to apply the provisions of paragraph 2 of art. 1 of 157. Then check the real consistency of the populations of birds for which the sampling is requested. Failing ISPRA data resort to those of international research institutes. Linked to the search for data on the consistency of some migratory species is the question of roccoli. Obviously positioned along the migratory routes and that if transformed into research and ringing centers, no longer hunting tools, could provide, year after year, those data that ISPRA is unable to provide.
