to the Commission
Rule 144
Cristina Guarda (Verts/ALE)
The special protection area (SPA) of Magredi del Cellina in the Dandolo di Maniago district, is protected under both the EU’s Birds and Habitats Directives and Friuli-Venezia Giulia Regional Law No 9/2015, containing as it does important habitats and protected species of flora and fauna, including nesting bird species.
The Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region has invested more than EUR 1 million in EU funding and LIFE project[1] resources to improve and conserve the long-duration pastures and habitats in the area.
At the beginning of June, inspections carried out by environmental associations revealed serious environmental damage to the area’s long-duration pastures caused by heavy wheeled and tracked vehicles, possibly during military exercises.
The local authorities immediately ordered the necessary investigations to clarify the circumstances and ascertain who was responsible
Given the foregoing:
- 1.Is the Commission aware of the aforementioned events that caused damage to the SPA of Magredi del Cellina?
- 2.Does it intend to conduct a thorough investigation to ascertain responsibility for any breaches of regulations and damage to the environment and property?
