Next year license to hunt wolves will become the most comprehensive to date. 44 animals should be shot, of which 24 in Dalarna. This despite the fact that the Administrative Court recently rejected the latest hunt where max 16 wolves would get shot.
To make this possible bypasses Sweden judgment European laws that we are committed to, and it’s very startling says Jan Darpö Professor of Environmental Law at Uppsala University.
“This is remarkable. It raises resonate in Europe to one of the member countries tend to be proficient in the class acts in this way,” he says.
At the 2013 hunting of wolves got a maximum of 16 animals shot in the country. But the hunt was stopped after only three wolves shot because it appealed to the court. Now the hunt designed in such a way that it can not be stopped through the courts, and it has the EU Commission reacted strongly, says Jan Darpö.
“So this can not be done. Environmental organizations as well as other representing the European legal protection interests must have the opportunity to challenge administrative decisions in court to that way enable the European Court of Justice to rule,” says Jan Darpö.
The European Commission have already been two infringement cases against Sweden regarding wolf hunting, and it can have consequences, says Jan Darpö.
“If they are not satisfied in the long run with developments in Sweden, they will sue Sweden as a member country,” he says.
