Nel contesto di un intervento normativo volto al ripristino degli ecosistemi trova riconoscimento la necessaria tutela degli insetti impollinatori selvatici, ossia di organismi strettamente interconnessi con i contesti ecologici dai quali dipendono e nei quali svolgono la funzione ecologica essenziale dell’impollinazione. La scelta del legislatore di introdurre nel reg. (UE) 2024/1991 una disposizione, l’art. 10, a ciò dedicata si fonda sul duplice riconoscimento, da un lato, del ruolo essenziale dei servizi ecosistemici da essi svolti e, dall’altro, dello stato critico in cui gli stessi versano. L’intervento normativo, ponendosi in sinergia con l’Iniziativa dell’Unione europea a favore degli impollinatori, oggetto di revisione nel 2023, risponde all’esigenza di istituire un apposito quadro di governance e controllo, pur riconoscendo agli Stati membri un ampio margine di discrezionalità quanto all’adozione di approcci nazionali differenziati. L’adeguatezza ed efficacia delle misure adottate, espressione dell’ambizione del legislatore nazionale e del necessario bilanciamento di esigenze confliggenti, potrà valutarsi alla luce dell’attività standardizzata di monitoraggio e del contributo offerto dai più recenti approdi scientifici, destinati a costituire il fondamento delle misure che saranno individuate dai piani nazionali di ripristino. Proprio il raccordo con il dato scientifico potrà risultare decisivo, come sembra suggerire la più recente giurisprudenza francese, nel delineare potenziali profili di responsabilità derivanti dalla mancata implementazione del regolamento o dal mancato conseguimento degli obiettivi che dallo stesso sono delineati.

Abstract
Within the framework of a legislative intervention aimed at restoring ecosystems, explicit recognition is given to the need to protect wild pollinating insects, organisms that are in- trinsically interconnected with the ecological contexts on which they depend and within which they perform the essential ecological function of pollination. The legislator’s choice to include in Regulation (EU) 2024/1991 a specific provision dedicated to this objective, namely article 10, is based on a dual acknowledgment: on the one hand of the essential role played by the ecosystem services they provide and, on the other hand, of their critical conservation status. This regulatory intervention, acting in synergy with the European Union’s Pollinators Initiative, revised in 2023, addresses the need to establish a dedicated framework for governance and monitoring, while granting Member States significant dis- cretion in designing differentiated national approaches. The adequacy and effectiveness of the measures adopted, which reflect both the ambition of national lawmakers and the need to balance potentially conflicting interests, will be evaluated in light of standardised monitoring activities and the contribution of the most recent scientific findings, intended to form the basis of the measures set out in national restoration plans. The alignment with scientific evidence may ultimately prove decisive, as suggested by recent French case law, in shaping potential liability arising from the failure to implement the Regulation or to achieve the objectives it lays down.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
