马耳他政府重新开放捕鸟许可证,违反欧盟法律,引发环境反弹。 Malta’s government reopened bird trapping licences, violating EU law and sparking environmental backlash.

马耳他鸟盟谴责马耳他政府重新开放捕捞许可证申请，称其违反欧盟法律，是环境保护的倒退。 BirdLife Malta has condemned the Maltese government’s reopening of trapping licence applications, calling it a violation of EU law and a step backward in environmental protection. 此举允许新申请者至3月18日，削弱了马耳他自2004年以来欧盟逐步淘汰捕雀的承诺，而欧洲法院已裁定捕猎雀属非法。 The move, allowing new applicants until March 18, undermines Malta’s EU commitments since 2004 to phase out finch trapping, which the European Court of Justice has ruled illegal. 该非政府组织指称,政府利用“科学研究”作为借口,利用时机谋取政治利益。 The NGO alleges the government is using “scientific research” as a pretext and exploiting the timing for political gain. 随着在受保护的自然2000年地区已经发生广泛陷阱,执法力度减弱——特别是在Gozo-BirdLife方面——警告说,有执照的捕猎者的扩大将会加剧生境破坏和非法活动。 With widespread trapping already occurring in protected Natura 2000 areas and enforcement weakened—especially on Gozo—BirdLife warns the expansion of licensed trappers will worsen habitat destruction and illegal activity. 它要求政府撤销申请,遵守欧盟义务,加强环境执法。 It demands the government withdraw the applications, comply with EU obligations, and strengthen environmental enforcement.
