Amendments approved
We learn of the approval by Parliament of the amendments regarding European Regulation no. 57/2021 and we await its definitive publication in the Official Journal. We note that the Majority and the Democratic Party wanted to take charge of the application on the national territory of the lead legislation and of some distortions that could occur regarding the disproportion of the sanctions and the identification of the areas of application of the restriction on the territory (the applicability of the regulation only in the wetlands contained in Protected Areas, Parks, Nature Reserves, SCIs, SPAs would be clarified and Ramsar Areas and the decriminalization of related sanctions).
The search for alternative ammunition
The process of progressive elimination of lead ammunition, which comes from afar, will not stop with these regulations approved today by the Italian Parliament. The approved amendments are not, therefore, an alibi for the industries involved to stop a process of development and research into alternative ammunition to lead ammunition with reasonable costs and which, perhaps, does not force everyone to change their rifle.
Environmental protection
We hope that the next step in this process, now irreversible, will find us ready and not in an emergency like this time. The hunting world cannot, and does not want, avoid the serious debate on the protection and safeguarding of the environment in all its aspects and facets (source: Arci Caccia).
