A plan to be made more effective
“Preventing and combating the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) they are priority objectives for the regional administration, to be fought alongside sector operators. This is where the new measures desired by the Region originate, to make the Regional Plan of Urgent Interventions approved in 2022 and updated in recent months more effective. It is necessary to act both on the level of prevention, preparing agile tools to manage the phenomenon, and if necessary, be ready to govern the appearance of any cases". The regional councilor for Territory and Hunting, Cristiano Corazzari, thus announces the approval by the Regional Council of the new operational lines relating to the PRIU (Regional Plan for Urgent Interventions).
Simplified process
The resolution established the continuation of the validity of the memorandum of understanding between the Veneto Region and professional agricultural organizations for control activities in territories with a consolidated presence of wild boar until 31 December 2025. The simplification of the administrative process for the recognition of the equivalence of the qualifications for wild boar control and hunting activities issued in other Regions and the provision of a priority path for the issuing of qualifications to the owners of agricultural land is also envisaged.
The figure of the bioregulator
“Further news is coming - continues Corazzari -. The territorial delimitation of the pig districts has been defined based on the presence of farms or activities in the relevant supply chain, while to strengthen monitoring measures the figure of the bioregulator has been established to supervise all carcass handling operations under a health safety regime. To streamline and make the implementation of the wild boar control plan more efficient, an IT solution is coming that will allow reports on the presence of wild boars and authorization for operators to be managed in real time and with greater precision through the use of georeferencing. authorized to intervene for culling".
