Al TAR Milan today, Thursday 10 October, the request to suspend the collection of the species covered by the reductive calendar of Lombardy or in any case a further reduction. The levy of lark, quail, tufted duck, pochard, lapwing and ptarmigan. Although the Region has deviated - only partially and for reasons - from the ISPRA opinion in fact only for quail and tufted duck, before the Milan TAR it will not be a discussion without pitfalls.
In fact, the LAC has also asked the TAR to refer the judgment on the constitutional legitimacy of the Regional Law 17/2004, law with which the Region had introduced maximum limits to be observed in the preparation of each annual calendar, within the limits allowed by 157/92. An important reference framework for hunting in Lombardy. Also in Lombardy, therefore, the season of appeals against hunting calendars opens, which in the rest of Italy is taking unimaginable drifts.
Federcaccia Lombardia and Federcaccia Nazionale intervened in the court opposing the appeal of the LAC and I am at the side of the Lombardy Region ad opposendum with the lawyers Alberto Maria Bruni of Florence and Lorenzo Bertacchi of Bergamo for defend hunting in our region. An applause goes to the Region, which has decided to fully defend its measures without backing down and without hesitation.
