Gianni Fava, councilor of the Lombardy region Agriculture, again commented on the issue of hunting notwithstanding. ISPRA rejected the request for authorization also for what concerns the capture of the birds for booster purposes. The path chosen by the Institute has always been the same, since it did not enter into the merits of the request, but limited itself to reporting theillegality of the capture facilities in relation to the regulatory changes that the European Union introduced in 2014.
According to Fava "it seems to live in the theater of Gogol". The commissioner then recalled how the Minister of the Environment, Gianluca Galletti, wrote to the Regions almost a year ago, assuming the convening of a technical table to define the guidelines on the derogation regime. Galletti also clarified the conditions for the operation of trapping facilities for decoy birds.
The stalemate of these last hours, however, has once again displaced everyone. Fava is convinced that he has worked for nothing, not forgetting the arrival in Rome to take part in tables that have been called useless in the light of the rejection. Finally, ISPRA underlined the infringement procedure which has been opened as far as the recalls are concerned.
