law 13/2016, of 28 July, hunting law 13/2016, of July 28, of hunting since the General Council in its session of 28 July 2016 has approved the following: law 13/2016, of 28 July, hunting exhibition of illustrations and article 31 of the Constitution determines the principles and the requirements of nature conservation , and States that it is a function of the State to ensure the rational use of the soil and of all natural resources, in order to guarantee everyone a decent quality of life and to restore and maintain for future generations a sound ecological balance in air, water and land, and to defend the native flora and fauna. Wildlife as a pillar of our natural heritage is an idiosyncratic identity element and of its citizens. This wealth of flora requires the attention of the State, in order to preserve it and strengthen it in a balanced way and tidy. The Bern Convention of 19 September 1979 on the conservation of wildlife and the natural environment in Europe led to an effective adaptation of the hunting area of the Member States of the Council of Europe, with a unifying vocation at the European level. The hunting Act of 13 April 2000 was already a hunting area in accordance with these precepts. However, the hunting activity, its management and the population of the caçables species have evolved considerably since the adoption of the law on hunting, and its provisions need also to adapt to the new reality. The creation of game reserves, as well as the management of the chamois, have led to an increase of populations. These populations of marmots have been growing both inside and outside the game reserves. This shows the important role that have had the most visited in terms of dissemination throughout the national territory, to get in the last few years a growing population. This law introduces new methods objectives of calculation, in order to be able to keep in time this population, with the application when appropriate hunting plans defined in accordance with the evolution of the rate of growth of the population and of the variation of the adult and youth population. This evolution has also been marked by periods of epizoòties that make clear the need to determine, as established in this law, population parameters as minimum requirements that must be met to make hunting plans. These requirements have been established in accordance with the features of Andorra, the management and the systems of hunting of Chamois and the historic population data of the species in the country. A good hunting area management requires protection measures as the prohibition of the exercise of hunting of chamois is regulated in this law when the population parameters are unfavorable to the maintenance of the population. Security in the hunt has taken importance in recent years and this law introduces a specific title. The security zones that must be respected during the activity of hunting have been redefined to adapt to changes in the Organization of the territory in recent years, and in certain areas to allow hunting activity with security for the correct management of populations. The goal of modernization, streamlining and simplification of procedures of hunting is also taken into account in this law, which determines the validity of the hunting license is set by the regulatory pathway. So you can extend the validity of the licence to several seasons of hunting, and the Hunter will be responsible for bringing the existing documentation license certificate of liability insurance and gun permit. In order to adapt the legal provisions that regulate the exercise of hunting in Andorra to the constitutional precept mentioned and also to update them, it is necessary the enactment of this law of hunting, that replaces the April 13, 2000. The scope of this hunting Law is limited to the Organization of the hunting activity, as it is considered advisable to reserve general regulation for the conservation of nature and natural resources in future provisions, in accordance with the framework set out in the Constitution. The repeal of this law second has rank of law to the extent that the articles of the agreement of 492 and 493 law 9/2005, of 21 February, qualified of the criminal code. Article 492 typifies criminally various ducts of illegal hunting and is considered more appropriate in the severity of these behaviours that are administratively in the manner provided for in this law. With regard to article 493, criminally illegal fishing behaviour typifies different that are also classified as an administrative offence in the law of fishing and management of the aquatic environment, from the 28th of June 2002, and of a criterion of consistency in the sanction of infringements related to the wild fauna, is believed to be also convenient administratively punish these behaviors and repealed the criminal typification.
