Environment Minister Lena Ek met on Tuesday with EU Environment Commissioner Janez Potocnik for talks on the Swedish wolf population. Sweden was threatened earlier to be brought before the EU courts because of the controversial licensed hunting of wolves, but Potocnik says now that Sweden is “on track”, in that a management plan for the species has been presented. But he cautions that the plan needs improvement. For example, Sweden has to specify how big the wolf population should be.
