La Regional Council of Veneto brought back to the Region the provincial functions relating to hunting and fishing. A special reorganization bill has allowed this step, given that the Delrio Reform has long since reduced the powers of the Provinces, especially in the hunting field. The regional initiative serves to give greater coherence to the legislative framework, but what has been specifically decided?
The text foresees ten articles which will now have to be examined by the Regional Council. On the basis of the reorganization, we want to enhance the specific skills of the Province of Belluno, as required by the Veneto Statute. In addition, other provinces will be able to manage the administrative functions as regards the faunal-hunting matter. The new "built" hunting plant will allow the Veneto Region to manage hunting surveillance, but not only.
In fact, the issue of the hunting card and the authorization to practice hunting (competences typical of the Provinces) have been carried over to the Region. The same goes for the control of wildlife, the establishment of Territorial Areas of Hunting and Alpine areas, the identification of stalking in the lagoons and the issuing of concessions. Finally, the Veneto region will have the management of ungulates and the measures adopted as regards the containment of otters.
