From the underestimation of a series of relations of international importance to the violation of the principles of proportionality and precaution: 5 NGO – Green Impact, Earth, Nagy Tavak, LNDC Animal Protection and One Voice – accuse the European Commission and the Member countries of having “ignored or underestimated a series of scientific relations of international importance “when they asked to make it easier for farmers shooting wolves in the event of attacks.
In addition, environmental associations argue that Brussels’ position is in open contradiction with the environmental laws in force in the European Union and, for this reason, would constitute a violation of the Treaties of the European Union.
Reason why The process of appeal filed by the five associations to the European Union Court starts for the cancellation of the EU Council decision and documents following the Bern Convention on the downgrading of the wolf (Canis Lupus).
The appeal
The appeal against the downgrading of the protection of the gray wolf in Europe is based on a series of solid and well -documented reasons. Here are the main points:
Now, if the appeal is successful, the cancellation of the EU Council decision will have a direct impact on the declaration proposal presented to the Bern Convention last December, making it ineffective.
Meanwhile in Italy …
Meanwhile, in Italy it emerges from the new technical protocols illustrated by the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) to the regional administrations which, compared to about 3,300 wolves present in Italy (based on the ISPRA census completed in 2021), in 2025 Regions and autonomous provinces will be able to ask for demolition in derogation in the case of confident, dangerous or after repeated attacks on zootechnical companies, up to a maximum of 160 wolves.
