Abstract

The present Law represents the legislative framework in matter of hunting. The Law is composed of ten Titles. Title I contains the general provisions applicable in matter of hunting, for which a special licence is required (art. 3). Title II regards hunting reserves, which may be established in order to ensure the protection and preservation of autochthonous species. Hunting shall be prohibited in such reserves on a permanent basis, without any prejudice to particular exemptions which may be granted for technical or biological reasons (art. 8). Title III lays down detailed provisions relating to the exercise of hunting rights. Hunting may take place only during allowed seasons (art. 11). Article 12 regards hunting gear. As regards protected species, these may be hunted for scientific purposes only, and upon prior issue of an authorization by the Counsel of Agriculture, Commerce and Industry. Title IV sets out further rules in matter of protection of particular protected species, including species threatened with extinction. Title V makes rules governing the issuance of hunting licences and permits. Title VI is concerned with the insurance policy; Title VII regards the Fishing and Hunting Association. Harmful animals may be hunted upon special authorization and on the basis of a special Ordinance identifying those species which are considered to be harmful (Title VIII). Title IX sets out particular restrictions and prohibitions. Title X lays down the penalties to be applied in case of infringement of this Law.
