According to the alarm launched by the fishermen of the Brescia side of Lake Garda, the cormorants, in large numbers, represent a serious problem both for anthropogenic activities and for the environmental balance. This species, practically devoid of natural enemies, contributes drastically to the reduction of the fish stock, considering that each specimen can ingest up to half a kilo of fish per day. To the damage caused by the high consumption of fish species add up the fish injured in failed capture attempts.
For this reason we have filed a question with the European Commission, which sees me as the first signatory and supported by our Head of delegation Carlo Fidanza, to request the adoption of a European management plan for the cormorant, hoping, as soon as possible, the launch of a consultation between the competent authorities and the categories concerned.
However, it remains necessary for the Italian government to intervene in this matter, adopting a national management plan for the cormorant and fully implementing art. 9 paragraph 1 letter. A) of Directive 2009 / 147 / EC. It is essential that our institutions cease their inertia and do all they can to protect aquaculture and fish fauna (Hon. Sergio Berlato - President of the Association for Rural Culture and MEP).
