" Umbria Region is waiting to hear the ruling of the Tar on the merits of appeal presented by the WWF just as no answers have yet been received from theIspra, the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research, given that the Umbrian calendar had received a favorable opinion from this Institute. For these reasons again the selection hunt cannot be opened, as foreseen by the 2018-2019 hunting calendar with the modalities provided for by the regional regulation of 27 July 1999, n. 23, to fallow deer and roe deer species, from 7 January to 15 March 2019 ".
The regional councilor for hunting, Fernanda Cecchini, in the meantime, has convened for next week [this in progress, for the reader] a meeting with the hunting associations precisely to take stock of the situation since the affair is still stalled, both on the judicial side of the Tar and on that of Ispra. The Tar - continues the note from the Umbria Region - held its own audience last December 4, after the suspension granted last July following the appeal against the Umbria Region and ISPRA presented by WWF Italy to request the cancellation of the part of the resolution by which the Regional Council approving the hunting calendar 2018/2019, has provided for the pre-opening of the season on 2 and 9 September and established the withdrawal periods for the selection hunt, which the same law provides that it can be authorized from 1 August.
Subsequently then, the law of 2 December 2005 n. 248 to art. 11 provided that on the basis of adequate abatement plans, the withdrawal can also be authorized outside the periods established by the law of '92. "The Umbria Region has therefore decided to respect the times dictated by the ISPRA which, according to the law in force, has identified the periods of slaughter for areas of the Apennines. For this reason, clear answers were requested from Ispra which, however, has not yet given feedback. The hope - concludes the regional note - is obviously that within a few days both the sentence of the Tar with the relative motivations arrive, and Ispra's replies. But in the meantime, the selection hunt remains suspended ”.
