We have already used all the interventions allowed by national legislation". “All institutions - concluded the commissioner - must follow a common line if the problem is really to be solved. Unfortunately, the Roman bureaucracy is often not aligned with the needs of the territories and the Regions have their hands tied. Wildlife is destroying agriculture. National funds and bureaucratic simplification are needed ”.
