Hunting in Lombardy: for Formigoni hunting is an integral part of Lombard tradition and culture, therefore he invites the Government to act also at a European level.
The president of the Lombardy Region Roberto Formigoni stated that “Hunting is an important resource of Lombard tradition and culture, and as such the Region will continue to protect and promote it. For its part, the government must do much more ”.
Continuing on the question, Formigoni criticizes the "national legislation that has already been declared by the Court of Justice to be inconsistent with European standards (and which we have already proposed to parliament to modify, unfortunately up to now without success)", also recalling that they cannot be "ignored the repeated pronouncements of the European Court of Justice and the Italian Constitutional Court that sanctioned national and regional legislation, including the Lombard one ".
Finally, President Formigoni affirmed with bitterness "Ispra, (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) does not help us, which normally acts without any prior sharing and collaboration with regional institutions, which, moreover, must exercise these skills on the basis of a national legislation, as mentioned, strongly imperfect ".
