“BirdLife’s arrogance and their contemplated arbitrary exercise of pretended rights know no boundaries or respect and correctness.” The Federation for Hunting & Conservation – Malta (FKNK said in a statement this evening

“The hunters said, “BirdLife Malta (BLM) have ‘reported the Malta Government to the European Commission’ because the Government has failed to accede to BLM’s demands and supply it with data regarding the last spring hunting season.”

“The FKNK pointed out that it “had also officially asked for the same data from the Government, notwithstanding that this was not available then, the FKNK still compiled its spring hunting derogation report without, as in the case of BLM, continuing to tarnish Malta’s image at all costs both locally and abroad as long as it reaches its aims.”

The FKNK said that its report was sent to the authorities, including the European Commission last May.

“Could it be that BLM had become used to easily ‘obtaining’ any data or information from one of its supporters within MEPA (Malta Environment Planning Authority) up to last year?” The FKNK asked, “or could it be that other BLM ‘friends’ also within MEPA have been dragging their feet to supply any data being requested by Government?”T

“The FKNK only expects the Commission to be pragmatic and unbiased in its assessment of any data and reports it receives from any source and to assess each document within the framework of the aims of the entity that write it,”” inconcluded.
