Guillemain (eds.) 33rd IUGB Congress & 14th Perdix Symposium abstract book. ONCFS, Paris. 2 Preface In the IUGB pioneers’ footsteps: gathering together for fruitful discussions! The International Union of Game Biologists was initiated on 17 October 1954 during a conference held in Düsseldorf (Federal Republic of Germany). Right from the start, IUGB aimed at gathering scientists willing to facilitate and improve research on wildlife and hunting, as stated by Professor Fritz Nüsslein from the Hann- Münden Institute of Hunting Science, one of the « fathers » of IUGB. During the second IUGB Congress in October 1955 in Graz (Austria), the activities of the organisation were formalized, with two major principles still in force today: congresses would be held every second year in a different country, and a committee of “Liaison officers” representing each member state would then meet to decide where to organize the next conference. During the 7th Congress in Belgrade (ex-Yugoslavia) in 1961 then during the 28th Congress in Uppsala (Sweden) in 2007, the Liaison Officer Committee worried that IUGB actually existed only during the Congresses, and did not have a proper legal status.

    EUROPEAN COMMISSION HEALTH & CONSUMER PROTECTION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL Directorate F - Food and Veterinary Office DG(SANCO)/8272/2006 MR - FINAL REPORT OF A MISSION CARRIED OUT IN ITALY FROM 10 TO 19 OCTOBER 2006 IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION AND CONTROLS FOR ANOPLOPHORA CHINENSIS 15/06/07 - 38360 Executive summary This report describes the outcome of a mission carried out in Italy from 10 to 19 October 2006. The objective of the mission was to evaluate the situation and control measures for the Citrus longhorn beetle - Anoplophora chinesis - in Italy. This pest is present only in Lombardy; it is believed to have been introduced with bonsai plants imported from Asia. It was first discovered in Italy in 2000, but was not officially notified to the Commission until 2005. In spite of its name, this pest is polyphagous and has caused serious damage in Italy on a range of woody species, including maple, plane, birch, beech, apple and pear. Three non-infested regions visited during the mission carry out monitoring inspections including for this pest. Only Piedmont has carried out a targeted and intensive survey, in areas bordering Lombardy. No evidence of the pest has been found in any other region. Lombardy has put in place an extensive control programme under regional legislation and funding. The control programme is being impeded by a lack of resources and in spite of the measures taken, the pest continues to spread. It has now been found over an area of approximately 100 km2 and was found for the first time in urban areas of Milan in 2006.

The aim of this paper is to examine the spatial distribution of socioeconomic inequalities in the municipal territories of Italy’s three most populous metropolitan cities, Roma, Milan and Napoli, by means of economic and social indicators and with data aggregated at the sub-municipal subdivisions of the cities and the municipalities in their provinces. These metropolitan areas are coming out of the worst crisis Italy has ever experienced, with a new class of poor people found not only in the outskirts and in the less well-off social groups but also among the middle class. Local and national governments cannot ignore this situation; the weakest sections of society have been unable to reap the benefits of the growth in the quaternary sector that has characterized Milan, Rome and Naples after the last decade, albeit to differing degrees.
