Recital 12
(12) Selling arrangements of firearms and their components by means of distance communication may pose a serious threat to security as they are more difficult to control than the conventional selling methods, especially as regards the on line verification of the legality of authorisations. It is therefore appropriate to limit the selling of arms and components by means of distance communication, notably internet, to dealers and brokersintroduce strict requirements as regards the possibilities for identifying all parties involved, including arms dealers, arms brokers and private individuals, and establishing that individual purchasers have the right to possess the firearms concerned.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) In order for one private individual to sell firearms to another private individual by means of distance communication, for example on the internet, the designated authority – e.g. a Member State police authority – must first carry out detailed checks when the application to sell and purchase firearms is being made. A system in which both parties to a sale can be identified by the designated authority and in which there is prior notification of both sale and purchase means that security can also be ensured for sales made using distance communication.
