A delegation from the Federation for Hunting and Conservation – Malta (FKNK) participated at an important meeting organised by the FACE Legal Technical Group in Brussels.

The meeting discussed legal issues that concern the application of correct derogations from the ‘Birds’ EU Directive by several Member States. Malta’s concerns regard traditional trapping and spring hunting. The meeting concluded that any derogation cannot be applied in a correct manner unless there is in place the strong political will of the Member State’s government.

The FKNK expressed its gratitude to Dr Attard Montalto MEP for making it possible for this delegation to visit Brussels
