SUMMARY:The positive role of hunters in protecting EU biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:ECR MEPs Andrey Slabakov and Pietro Fiocchi host a discussion on the positive role of hunters in protecting biodiversity across the Union. \nOften forgotten and stigmatised\, hunters and fishermen play an indispensable role in safeguarding biodiversity. In particular\, the event will focus on three pressing issues. Firstly\, the total ban of the use of lead in wetlands. The definition of wetlands lacks clarity\, definition and intelligibility and is contrary to general principles of EU law\, in particular those of proportionality and legal certainty. It is also problematic for sports and economic activities\, such as hunting and fishing. Secondly\, the sharp increase in the wolf population\, which has led to economic damage to local communities across the Member states. Thirdly\, CITES (Convention International Trade In Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora)\, which bans legal trophy hunting import and export\, thus having a negative impact on both hunters and local communities in African countries. \nWhere: SPAAK 1A2 \nA live video link is available here. \nAgenda \nOpening and welcome @ 9:30 \n\nMEP Andrey Slabakov\nMEP Pietro Fiocchi \n\nIntervention of National Ministers @ 9:40 \n\nFrancesco Lollobrigida\, Minister of Agriculture\, Republic of Italy\nClaudio Barbaro\, Undersecretary of State of Ministry of Environment\, Republic of Italy\n\nThe positive effect of hunting for protecting biodiversity @ 10:00 \n– Biodiversity and habitats: The role of hunters and the influence of the EU Common Agricultural Policy \n\nDavid Scallan\, Secretary General\, FACE\nTiziano Terzi\, President\, Safari Club International Italian Chapter\nVasil Vasilev\, President\, Union of Hunters and Anglers in Bulgaria\nAlessandro Fiumani\, President\, CPA\, Italy\n\n– Large carnivores and the need for sustainable management of their populations as a means of minimizing conflict with humans: The case for downgrading wolves from strictly protected species to protected species \n\nJörg Binder\, Secretary General\, Austrian Hunting Association \nPaolo Sparvoli\, President\, ANLC\, Italy\nOvidiu Ionescu\, Chairman of the Board of Directors\, General Association of Hunters and Sports Fishermen\, Romania\nGerardo Arroyo\, Representative of REFEC\, Spain\n\nThe upcoming proposal for banning lead for hunting and fishing in the EU and the consequences of the ban of lead shot in wetlands – short and long-term effects\, efficacy and the question of fairness @ 11:15 \n\nOla Wälimaa\, Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management\nStiliyan Geraskov\, Expert in Union of Hunters and Anglers\, Bulgaria\nGiorgio Antonio Preti Moavero Milanesi\, President ANLC Milano\n\nThe ban on imports of hunting trophies under the CITES system – short and long-term effects @ 11:40 \n\nMekondjo Kaapanda-Girnus\, Ambassador of Namibia to Belgium\nDavid Scallan\, Secretary General\, FACE\nJuan Magaz\, Safari Club International\n\nClosing remarks @ 12:00 \n\nClaudio Barbaro\, Undersecretary of State of Ministry of Environment\, Republic of Italy\n\nDiscussion @ 12:10 \n\nMEP Andrey Slabakov\nMEP Pietro Fiocchi

SUMMARY:Private Property — A natural right under threat

This conference aims to identify the principles that provide for proper policy-making. \nAgenda \nPhilosophical foundation of private property \n\nProf. David Sanz Bas\, Universidad Católica de Avila\n\nPrivate property as a guarantee of prosperity.
