“To avoid unnecessary emotion, today I ordered the Deputy Minister in charge, who is also chairman of the commission, to remove this particular element. In the near future, when we meet with the hunting community, which participates in the advisory commission, that The question will be raised again, answered and the discussion should take place more widely, “said K. Mažeika on the LRT” Topic of the Day “program.
Council President K. Mažeika has appointed Deputy Minister Rasa Vaitkevičiūtė. Delphi has already written that she is a hunter, an active member of this community. In 2019, Delfi wrote that the newly appointed Deputy Minister for the Environment, R. Vaitkevičiūtė, could have incorrectly declared private interests, without specifying his membership in the hunter organization. The Main Service Ethics Commission discovered that the Vice Minister had violated the law.
Delfi raised the question that R. Vaitkevičiūtė may belong to a hunters organization. The journalists then contacted the newly appointed Deputy Minister for the Environment, R. Vaitkevičiūtė, and asked if he belonged to a hunting club. “I do not belong to any hunting club,” the deputy minister said when asked by journalists in Delphi.
The Deputy Minister presented her version The President of the Hunting Management Advisory Council, the Deputy Minister of the Environment R. Vaitkevičiūtė presented her version on the Delfi Day program, how and why that decision was made. “First of all, it should probably be explained that no such decision has been made, a ban has simply been introduced and I will tell you why soon.” The ban was introduced after the Republic of Lithuania’s Arms and Ammunition Control Law was passed in June last year, which repealed the regulation of bows and arrows on how they can be used.
Therefore, as early as July, we received questions from hunters about whether we could use bows and what it would look like. After such speeches, we started to see what it would be like here and we introduced a ban, because EU law does not say and does not regulate hunting bows and arrows, so we had to introduce this regulation into future hunting rules, stopping the ban that hunting bows will not be allowed until 2020. worn, “said the deputy minister.
Seimas members disagree.
Order 2022 The legalization of hunting in Lithuania has nothing to do with the position of the party or faction of the Green Union of Peasants of Lithuania (LVŽS) on this issue, said party president Ramūnas Karbauskis. “I am grateful to the public for reacting so abruptly.
If the public hadn’t reacted, we certainly would have noticed. And we would have taken action because the group and the LV®S faction have a negative attitude towards archery and the use of night vision aids. The Minister is very aware of that, “said R. Karbauskis.
Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis also expressed his opinion on this issue. “It just came to our attention then. Today I spoke to the Minister for the Environment about this. My opinion has not changed: such a measure is indisputable, unnecessary and unacceptable. Such a measure cannot enter into force,” wrote S. Skvernelis.
On Monday, Seimas Vice President Arvydas Nekrošius and Chair of the Law and Order Committee Agnė Širinskienė registered amendments to the Hunting Law, which would prevent the Minister of the Environment from approving the list of permitted tools for use in hunting.
