During the Arci Caccia congress, the coordinator of the European Parliament Agriculture and Rural Development Group and former Minister of Agriculture, Paolo de castro, called for an end to all fundamentalism in wildlife management to leave room only for European science and management. "There hunting - he affirmed - must pass from a subject of conflict to ground of cooperation and joint work. But for this step it is necessary to stop, first, the litigiousness of the hunting world. Then we must always and only act from a European perspective. The issue of wildlife conservation must be addressed through community plans that must dictate common rules for all member states.
In the management of animals, who move from one territory to another, there cannot be different rules in each nation ». De Castro asked to “look together at the new European agricultural policy as a great opportunity for the management of fauna and for the improvement of habitat together with farms.
'European wildlife management will have ample room for action by states. Also in Italy it will have to be included in projects within the future Rural Development Plan, which will be national, but articulated in regional rural development plans "(Source: Arch Hunting).
