This joint ministerial order approves the methodology for calculating damage caused by game animals. It establishes procedures for assessing and quantifying damage to agricultural crops, farm animals, apiaries, forests, and related structures, including on-site inspection and documentation through official acts. The methodology defines the general principles for determining losses and requires that damage be assessed by a designated commission within specified timeframes, including verification of the causal link between wildlife and the reported damage. The methodology sets out criteria for identifying and evaluating damage, including the determination of the affected area and the degree of damage expressed as a percentage. It provides rules for calculating losses to agricultural crops based on expected yield and specifies that damage is valued using market or normative prices. It also outlines conditions under which compensation may be reduced or not granted, including certain circumstances related to crop management and the extent of damage. Separate provisions regulate the calculation of damage to farm animals, apiaries, and forests. These include methods for valuing animals and bee colonies, as well as rules for assessing damage to forest stands based on the proportion of affected trees and the estimation of losses related to reforestation or growth. The methodology also takes into account the application of preventive measures when determining compensation.
