Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri, who is also responsible for hunting and trapping, said that he has asked the Chairman of the Ornis Committee to place on the agenda and discuss a number of ”legislative amendments that the Government is proposing.”
The Gozo Minister did not go into details of what the ”legislative amendments” are, but said that ”the aim of the amendments is not only that our country’s laws are and remain relevant over time, but also that they are in line with the relative European laws, as well as that the principle of proportionality as embraced by the European Union is drawn up in the laws of Malta.”
Minister Camilleri said that ”following a study and analysis of the laws in force in connection with hunting and trapping, the Government is submitting proposals for a number of amendments to the relative law to the Ornis Committee for discussion thereof.”
He concluded by saying that ”subsequently, if the Ornis Committee approves such amendments, the Government will be implementing the reform.”
