Question 1105 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Le Coq questions the Minister of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention on the creation of the national hunting license file. Since 2018, “hunting accidents” have left 39 dead and 520 injured, many of whom were not hunters. In the 2022-2023 season alone, there were 6 deaths and 78 injuries, victims of non-compliance with the rules governing this practice. The associations of local residents are frustrated at being put in danger and wildlife protection associations are asking for more resources allocated to agents of the French Biodiversity Office (OFB). This is particularly the case of the association for the protection of wild animals (Aspas) which recalls that, 4 years after the planned date, the national hunting license file has still not been put in place. Despite the legal obligation, the State has never taken the necessary implementing decree. This national file should allow OFB agents to have one-click access to the information necessary for supervising and controlling hunting. Is the hunting license valid, suspended or revoked? Does the hunter have the right to buy or hold a weapon? Has he already been convicted? Requested by Aspas, the Council of State, on November 13, 2023, made its decision known “even if (...) the development of the decree would have encountered certain difficulties of a legal and technical nature (...), these difficulties are not such as to justify an abstention which was prolonged beyond a reasonable period of time.” He asks him when the Government intends to take the necessary measures to create the national hunting license file.
