P-007221/2012
Question for written answer
to the Commission
Rule 117
Giancarlo Scottà (EFD)

 Subject: Problems relating to exceptional hunting
 Answer(s) 

In May 2012 a meeting was held between the EU Environment Commissioner and some Italian environmental associations with regard to the issue of exceptional hunting in Italy (notwithstanding the legal provisions in force), in particular the implementation of the Birds Directive in Italy, the presumed non-compliance with which may result in penalties.

In the light of the Commission's position, as set out in a letter of formal notice asking Italy to comply with the rulings of the EU Court of Justice and according to which, should Italy fail to meet its obligations, proceedings will once again be brought before the court and further financial penalties applied, can the Commission say:

— How did it collect the data and information necessary in order to establish the alleged irregularities?
— What are the sources of that information and can they be considered exhaustive?
— Were all hunting associations involved?
