## Article 46¹ and its purpose

Article 46¹ of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia establishes administrative liability for breach of the rules, established by Georgian legislation, on the removal and use of a human organ, part of an organ or tissue. The norm governs one of the most sensitive fields of administrative regulation — transplantation and the medical use of human biological material. The removal and use of organs and tissues is a strictly regulated activity in which human dignity, health and safety depend directly on procedural detail; that is why a breach of the rules established in this field is treated as a separate composition and protected by a penalty.

### What fine is provided for breaching the rules on removing and using a human organ or tissue?

Under Article 46¹, the fine is fifty minimum amounts of labour remuneration, and in the case of officials — one hundred minimum amounts, that is, fifty-fold and one hundred-fold respectively.

### Whose breach is punished under this article?

The breach of the rules established by the legislation of Georgia on the removal and use of a human organ, part of an organ or tissue; the detailed rules are determined by the legislation of the healthcare field.

### Why are the fines expressed in minimum amounts?

Because that is how the article prescribes them; the monetary value of a minimum amount is determined under the procedure established by legislation, so the fine remains expressed in this form.

### Who examines the case?

This matter is not regulated by this article — the examination procedure, the time limits and the appeal process are determined by other provisions of the Code.
