Response to Implementing arrangements for the import of cultural goods

21 Apr 2021

The European Art Market Coalition (EAMC) represents auction houses and art and antique dealers’ organizations in Member States throughout the European Union. It is the leading pan-European art market group specifically representing this sector. Since 2010 it has worked with EC officials on a number of issues relating to cultural goods. EAMC fully supports targeted and effective measures aimed at preventing crime and eliminating criminal practices in the area of cultural property. The comment on the implementing of certain provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/880 should start with the observation that the EAMC has raised many practical and principled objections to the Regulation itself. Even though Regulation 2019/880 has been adopted, comments on its effect cannot be separated from the above-mentioned objections. In any case, please find attached our feedback to the implementing act.
