The President of Confagricoltura, Massimiliano Giansanti, and the president of the Game Producers Authority (EPS), Galdino Cartoni, have signed an agreement that renews and strengthens the collaboration between the two subjects for the protection and representation of agricultural companies engaged in wildlife management of the territory. Under the new agreement, EPS becomes a member of the Confederation.
The parties undertake to achieve three well-defined objectives: adequate recognition of the activities that private wildlife institutes carry out for the benefit of the entire biodiversity system and the community; a full planning and enhancement of the food, hunting and naturalistic chain; a necessary, concrete and urgent revision of tax policies for ease the pressure on the sector's assets.
Confagricoltura thus recognizes theEPS as the main national body representing the concessionaires of private wildlife institutes and the body, in turn, recognizes the Confederation as the main national reference body for the representation of agricultural enterprises. There are 5.000 members of EPS e 2.700 member wildlife institutes that manage one million hectares of surface. The Confederation undertakes to provide its legal, social security, trade union, legislative, tax, technical and economic cooperation and assistance.
EPS will enhance its action on the territory thanks to the widespread presence of the association of agricultural entrepreneurs throughout the Peninsula. Confagricoltura, in fact, hosts the national headquarters of the organization at its premises; in addition, the parties will jointly evaluate the opportunity to transfer the headquarters of the regional and provincial sections of EPS to the Regional Federations and Provincial Unions of Confagricoltura (source: Confagricoltura).
