That's right, the government needs to be more proactive, if it wants to keep the medals. The person themself who has receive the decoration, and who is liable to a fine, should not have to make the efforts to try to find a taker for the medal. The same thing applies to the third generation of recipients. Those people should be told that if they want to dispose of them, they have to dial this telephone number and the government will try to find a taker. If it doesn't find anyone, it will call them back and they can do what they like with them. It would be much simpler that way, rather than fining people who don't know the law and who are not informed, and saying too bad for them.
Don't you think that would be the best solution?
