The Municipal Councilor Cesare Serino, Provincial President of ANUU Migratoristi, comments on the regulatory situation of hunting in Campania and the proposed amendments to Regional Law 8/96.
Two significant changes have been proposed to the Campania Regional Law 8/96, one of dignity the other of interests ... In the Campania region there is tremble and pawing by some workers for the proposals for the new regulation of hunting.
Better to say, unnamed ones on duty have come into the open, who after having received presidency addresses, guarantors of pluralism and balance, such as the regional council and other positions, in the capacity of particular consultants to the President of the Region (to be subject to the above and warranty of the parties) after the fact, they manifested in their fullness the inner program, that of being very much and above all biased, of that personal part, to the detriment of all the others.
But let's get to the facts: various proposals for amendments have been received under consideration by the regional agriculture commission among which those regarding articles 36 and 40 of regional law 8/96 stand out. The proposals formulated by the hunting representation, which are seven in number, those recognized, were advanced one by a group made up of six associations, aggregated in order to share in a participatory, pluralist and unitary manner and another proposal was instead forwarded from a single association that did not join the established group, preferring to follow a hermitage path, expressly biased, not wanting to share the choices for all Campania hunters with the other associations, as requested.
The pluralist group, or the Campania regional coordination of the united hunting associations, represented by ANUU, ARCICACCIA, ENALCACCIA, EPS, ITALCACCIA and LIBERACACCIA has proposed the principle of par condicio, equal dignity through the formulation of amendment to article 36 as represented below, in addition to other important proposals:
Art. 36 Scheduled hunting management
... it is proposed to replace paragraph 4 with the following: The members of the Management Committees of the territorial hunting areas are appointed by resolution of the Provincial Council, which must ensure the presence of all the hunting associations recognized at national level and present in the CTFVN referred to in art. 34 paragraph 5 of Law 157/92 ............ ..
and add .. Participation in the ATC Management Committee will be honorary, without any form of additional indemnity, except for the amounts provided for reimbursement of expenses as per law.
The other single association and not aggregated to the regional group, with its own non-shared action, proposed the following:
Art. 40 Utilization of proceeds
In paragraph 2 of the article it is necessary to add a subsequent paragraph, with the letter "e" and the phrase "fund to be distributed, in proportion to the membership, to nationally recognized hunting associations, present and organized in the region, for education, training and updating of members, as well as for control and surveillance on the territory".
Also in paragraph 2, add a further paragraph with the letter "f" and the phrase "fund to be distributed to the extent of not less than 50% of the proceeds, pursuant to art. 36 paragraph 2 of this law, to the ATCs present in the region, aimed at interventions aimed at optimizing the fauna of hunting interest, census plans, research and study projects on the fluctuation of migratory birds in the area of competence".
It is clear from reading the proposals that the group of six Campania associations, in coordination, invokes and proposes equal representative dignity with the amendment of article 36 without increasing burdens, while the proposal of the single hunting association, with the modification of article 40, formulates its own economic advantage to the detriment of the financial regulations, which highlights the need to divide the proceeds proportionally to the membership size, or to the number of members.
The exegesis or the objective interpretation can be formulated through the clear evidence of the essential condition, the characteristic of numerical predominance, evidence of coercive constraints. In the epitome of the single entity in fact, anachronistic elements are highlighted, outside any rule of participatory democracy, the absence of pluralism, an element now inherent in current political formulations.
Surely the regional legislative bodies of Campania will adopt the criteria of par condicio, equal dignity, in compliance with the fundamental principles of democracy. The hunting representations have equal dignity of the equivalent trade union representations and therefore there are no differential Pythagorean formulations at the consultation tables.
Finally, it is essential to underline that the hunting question of Campania is a regional question, it is not a Neapolitan or Neapolitanist question. Naples and its province do not have a useful territory for the constitution of the territorial area of hunting, as required by national legislation, in law 157/92. Therefore, the territory essentially useful for hunting for Neapolitan practitioners is in the other Campania provinces which certainly are not to be considered in second order.
