Appeal to the executive
On hunting and on the protection of fauna, the Meloni government accumulates disasters after disasters. First the failure to manage redundant wildlife starting with wild boars with the risk of serious consequences for the spread of swine fever, then the inability to address the issue of attacks on farms by wolves, hybrids and canids without it being defined a shred of plan to safeguard farms and now the inadequacy in dealing with the implementation of the Community directive which provides for the prohibition of the use of lead ammunition in wetlands.
Judgment of the TAR
Ministers Pichetto and Lollobrigida thought they could solve it with an interpretative circular and instead a sentence from the Lazio Regional Administrative Court arrived punctually, reminding the governors that a mere explanatory circular by nature, form and procedure is notoriously unsuitable for affecting the precise provisions of the supranational regulations which are therefore fully binding and directly applicable by the competent investigative and judging bodies.
Critical issues to be resolved
Instead of getting lost in spot operations, such as the circular in question, Ministers Lollobrigida and Pichetto would do well to intervene with provisions that have the force of law, as the hunting associations themselves have requested, to resolve the critical issues deriving from the application of the directive with particular reference the need to cartographically define the wetlands and to allow the transport of the different types of ammunition on the ground for hunting, obviously precluding the possibility of using those with lead in the prohibited wetlands. This was declared by the deputies Stefano Vaccari and Marco Simiani, group leaders of the PD of the Agriculture Commission and the Environment Commission of the Chamber (source: FIDC).
