Agriculture Law

The committee referred to in Article 26 of this Law may: 1. include in the penalty decision a provision obligating the violator to rectify the violation; 2. impose a fine for each day the violation continues after the violator is notified of the committee decision, provided that said fine is calculated from the date specified in the decision; 3. double the fine in the case of a repeat violation. A violation shall be deemed repeated if committed within three years from the date the previous violation is committed; 4. include in the penalty decision a provision to publish the ruling at the expense of the violator in a local newspaper published in the area of his residence, or, if none is available, in the nearest area or through any other appropriate medium, depending on the type, gravity, and effect of the violation, provided that the decision is published after it becomes final upon the lapse of the statutory period for appeal or affirmation of the competent court; and 5. petition the competent court to confiscate seized items subject of the violation.
