The letter sent to the Veneto Regional Council by the Hon. Sergio Berlato on the question of artifacts for hunting agricultural use insisted on the territory of the Region.
With a letter sent to the President and to the entire regional council, together with all the regional councilors of Veneto, the Hon. Sergio Berlato has brought to the attention of the Region the serious problem that is exploding in Veneto due to some complaints presented to the judicial authority by some ecological associations against tens of thousands of owners of artifacts for agricultural and hunting use.
Following these complaints, some prosecutors in the Veneto have instructed numerous judicial police officers to identify and report the owners of these artifacts, accused of having carried out such constructions without prior administrative authorization (both urban planning / building and landscaping). In most cases these artifacts are recovered tools, woodsheds, barns, hunting huts, fences for farm or companion animals.
On the basis of the allegations of non-compliance with Presidential Decree 380/2001 regarding generic construction activities and with Legislative Decree 42/2004 regarding landscape protection, the owners of these artifacts risk a criminal sanction which provides for the arrest of up to two years and the fine from 10.328 to 103.290 euros, in addition to the costs for the dismantling of the building and the restoration of the area.
Given the vastness of the problem and the high number of citizens who could be denounced for alleged infringements committed in absolute good faith, the Hon. Sergio Berlato asked the Regional Council and the Regional Council of Veneto to kindly and promptly take an interest in the matter, also by issuing an urgent regional provision that can protect many thousands of honest citizens from the danger of being called to respond criminally for having exercised their centuries-old activities in the same way they have always been exercised.
