Lorenzo Bertacchi, Chairman of the Regional Federcaccia of Lombardy, issued the following statement: “An article appeared in the newspaper“ l'Arena ”containing an interview with the commander of the Provincial Police of Verona an alleged letter from the Federcaccia Insurance Company is cited according to which there would be no insurance coverage in the event of the participation of hunters in fauna containment operations.
In reality, in the face of some judgments of the Constitutional Court the Federation has set itself the problem of being able to reassure its members and it is in the last few days the clear and clear response of the Insurance Broker, which has guaranteed the full operation of the policy conditions for all control activities, provided that compliant with regional provisions (and / or Provincial) in force and regardless of any other matter. Federcaccia Lombardia, therefore in the light offurther clarification had regarding the insurance coverage for the wildlife control interventions planned by the Region, confirms the possibility that its members collaborate with the Provincial Police according to the provisions of the Lombardy Region.
So obviously in the face of full recognition, by the institutions, of the important and essential today managerial / environmental role of the hunter for the purpose of wildlife control. Therefore, if the competent Bodies believe that they have overcome or overcome the other critical issues mostly relating to the work of the Public Administration and Supervisory, it is deemed necessary to convene an operational table with the AAVV, the Agricultural Associations, the UTR and the Commands of the Provincial Police Corps. This also in order to overcome the painful and harmful impasse created by the inability of the Government and Parliament to remedy the impossibility of managing the faunal criticalities that are causing very serious damage to agricultural production and to the biodiversity of the Lombard habitats.
Not only the FIDC in the policy provides insurance coverage for these activities !!!
ITALCACCIA in Art 2 (paragraph 1) of our insurance agreement provides:
Insured activities The guarantee is intended for the risks provided for by Article 12 of 157/92 on hunting and control, collection, capture, wildlife management activities, also with the aid of burrowing and trail hunting dogs, for the recovery of ungulates involved in road accidents, as governed by regional and provincial laws, by municipal ordinances, by the ATC / CACA, by the Park Authorities and by the Prefects:
(paragraph 7) from the control and hunting of predatory, opportunistic and invasive animals exercised with the authorization of the Authority or Bodies in charge.
