Mr Sergio Berlato, president of the Confederation of Italian Hunting Associations (CONFAVE) and the Association for the Defense and Promotion of Rural Culture (ACR), issued the following note: “Although the application of the derogation regime and the activation of the capture plants explicitly provided for by Directive 147/2009 / EC and by state law no. 157/92, no one seems to be interested in allowing Italian hunters to take advantage of these opportunities offered by regulations in force.
Yet for a time it seemed that almost all political forces believed it essential to guarantee this right to Italian hunters, just as it seemed that almost all the leaders of almost all the Italian hunting associations were ready to sacrifice themselves in defense of rights of their associates. What is the reason for this silence, perhaps resignation? Or maybe we are far from the electoral deadlines? Because the various political representatives, with a few commendable exceptions, they do not raise their voices to demand from the institutions the respect and correct application of the Community Directives and state regulations?
Because most of the hunting leaders representing their noble associations do not square up to ask the Government to convene the State / Regions Conference to give full application to art. 4 and article 19bis of the state law n. 157/92 which would allow the activation of the capture plants and the application of derogation regime in Italy as required by art. 9 of Directive 147/2009 / EC? Can anyone give us some explanation on this? Someone still has the courage to stand up for what they believe in, even if that can be considered inappropriate or counterproductive under the political or associative profile? ".
You see dear MEP Berlato, maybe the other hunting associations are tired of getting beaten in the teeth by the various courts (those of the Lombardy Region in primis)?
Since you were sent to Strasbourg with the vote of the hunters, work hard to solve this problem "THANK YOU"
