The amended wording is as follows:] [Section 5 - Duration of the conversion sentence (731/2015) (1) A conversion sentence for a fine is imposed so that four unpaid day fines correspond to imprisonment for one day. If the number of day fines to be converted is not divisible by four, the remainder are not converted. If only a part of a day fine has been paid, the day fine is deemed unpaid. (2) When passing a conversion sentence for a threat of a fine imposed as a lump sum in euros, every full 30 euros correspond to imprisonment for one day. (3) A conversion sentence shall be passed for at least five days and at most 40 days. A conversion sentence may not be passed without a special reason if the unpaid amount of the threat of fines is less than 120 euros. (4) If two or more fines are to be converted at the same time, only one conversion sentence shall be passed, in accordance with subsection 3. In this event, a threat of a fine corresponds to a fine.

(2) When passing a conversion sentence for a joint punishment of a fine, the court shall assess the proportion of the fines that are nor susceptible to conversion in the joint punishment and waive conversion for that part. (3) The part of the total amount of the fine that has been increased under section 3(2) or Chapter 7 section 3(a) shall not be converted into imprisonment.
