The reasons on which the argument of the Cypriot authorities was based to allow the hunting of turtledoves in Cyprus was based on the following:
Taking into account all the above and after discussions with the competent bodies, the European Commission agreed that the following conditions are met in order to allow the hunting of the turtledove in Cyprus:
i. Implement Adaptive Harvest Management
ii. Limit the annual harvest of the turtle to 50% of the average harvest for the years 2013 - 2018.
iii. Obligation of hunters to report the harvest of each turtle.
iv. Intensify the habitat improvement program.

This year's hunting season for the turtle will be evaluated by the EU and if the conditions set are not met then it is very likely that during the next hunting season the hunting of the turtle will not be allowed. This means that all of us will have to literally apply all the conditions that have been set so that the hunting of the turtledove will be allowed in the years to come.
