Ornis Committee recommends spring hunting: EU warned against

The Ornis Committee is recommending the opening of a spring hunting season on turtle doves and quails next month despite a European Commission warning.

Their recommendations will end on the desk of Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri who is responsible for hunting.

Last year the government permitted a limited time period and quota for spring hunting.

However, this did not sit well with the EU, with Brussels issuing a formal warning against Malta.
