In Puglia it will be possible the hunting to the Starling during the current 2015/2016 Hunting Season. This is the provision of a single article approved by the Regional Council, by majority and with the contrary vote of the councilors of the M5S.
According to the proponents of the law, Fabiano Amati, Donato Pentassuglia and Giandiego Gatta, this legislative initiative was made necessary due to the serious damage that these birds create to crops and also to limit health and hygiene damage.
The law that authorizes the withdrawal of Sturnus vulgaris in derogation, is subject to compatibility with the monitoring studies on the migratory phenomenon of the species, which will be indicated with a resolution of the Regional Council. In order to authorize the sampling, with the approval of two amendments signed by Amati and the regional government, the requirements for the formal acquisition of the monitoring studies and the related opinion pursuant to the regional law of 2007 have been added, governing the derogation regime.
The approval of another amendment proposed by the Government determined the allocation of the sum of 20 thousand euros to be allocated to the formalities necessary for the implementation of the provisions in force, such as monitoring and studies on the migratory phenomenon of the Storno.
The directors of M5S oppose the approval of the waiver, according to which "No data justifies an emergency intervention". "We reiterated our" NO "in the face of no scientific data that currently certifies and justifies an emergency intervention - declare the eight regional councilors of the 5 Star Movement - We believe that the problem should instead be addressed and resolved definitively through planning and programming that takes into account all those involved ".
"It is important - continue the pentastellates - to closely coordinate actions over a large area, between urban and rural environments and it is therefore very urgent, therefore, to provide for the implementation of a regional action plan that evaluates the correct way to operate and manage the various territorial realities; only following this plan could we possibly also discuss a hunt in derogation ”.
“We will ensure that the approved text can eventually find its implementation only in full compliance with the regulations in force and in particular - they conclude - of art. 9 of the European Directive 2009/147 / EC which provides for the withdrawal by way of derogation 'as long as there are no other satisfactory solutions' ".
