Persons Violating the Requirements Specified in Regulatory Enactments
Regulating Hunting, Determining the Amount thereof, as well as the
Procedures and Amount of Compensation for the Value of Illegally
Acquired Hunting Products
Issued pursuant to
Section 30 of the Hunting Law
1. These Regulations prescribe the procedures by which losses caused by natural or legal
persons violating the requirements specified in the Hunting Law or other regulatory
enactments regulating hunting shall be compensated, determining the amount thereof, as well
as the procedures and the amount of compensation for the value of illegally acquired hunting
products.
2. Losses caused through the illegal hunting of game animals (irrespective of the gender and
age of the game animals) or through destroying a burrow, den or nest of game animals shall
be compensated for to the State.
3. For illegal hunting down of an elk, red deer, wild boar, roe deer, capercaillie or black
grouse, the value of the illegally acquired hunting products shall be compensated for to the
State.
4. Losses that have been caused by illegal hunting down of game animals or destroying a
burrow, den or nest of game animals, as well as the value of illegally acquired hunting
products shall be calculated by using the following formula:
Z = Dmin x K, where
Z – the amount of losses caused or the value of illegally acquired hunting products (in lats);
Dmin – the minimum monthly salary determined in the State (in lats); and
K – the coefficient for calculating the losses or the value of illegally acquired hunting
products (Annexes 1, 2 and 3).

enactments, losses for each limited game animal shall be compensated for in a double amount.
