Details

The rapporteur, Mr Escudero (EPP, E), recommended that the proposal should be adopted in order to clarify the situation as regards the different definitions that existed for paintings, drawings and water-colours requiring an export licence under the terms of the 1993 directive. The rapporteur said that he could accept the two amendments that the Council had made to the initial proposal: the first of these related to the procedure and the second, which was of a technical nature, to the creation of a distinct category for the three abovementioned forms of art. For his part, Commissioner Monti fully supported the common position of the Council concerning the return of cultural works unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State.

Details

The rapporteur pointed out that cultural objects enjoyed special treatment when it came to the free movement provided for under the terms of the Treaty. For example, paintings valued above ECU 150 000 and drawings valued above ECU 15 000 required an official licence before they could be exported. Water-colour, gouache and pastel pictures posed a special problem in that they were considered as paintings in some countries and as drawings in others. The rapporteur took the view that classifying these works in the category of paintings would eventually mean too many of them requiring an official licence. It was for this reason that he proposed creating an intermediate category. Commissioner Bonino said that in her opinion the loopholes in European legislation as regards the export of cultural objects had been filled in as a result of the harmonisation of measures designed to protect water-colour, gouache and pastel pictures, which was the object of the proposal in question. She also pointed out that Parliament would have an opportunity, later that year, to hold a debate on cultural works when the Commission would be presenting the first three-yearly report on the application of the Regulations in this sector.

For example, paintings valued above ECU 150 000 and drawings valued above ECU 15 000 required an official licence before they could be exported. Water-colour, gouache and pastel pictures posed a special problem in that they were considered as paintings in some countries and as drawings in others. The rapporteur took the view that classifying these works in the category of paintings would eventually mean too many of them requiring an official licence. It was for this reason that he proposed creating an intermediate category. Commissioner Bonino said that in her opinion the loopholes in European legislation as regards the export of cultural objects had been filled in as a result of the harmonisation of measures designed to protect water-colour, gouache and pastel pictures, which was the object of the proposal in question. She also pointed out that Parliament would have an opportunity, later that year, to hold a debate on cultural works when the Commission would be presenting the first three-yearly report on the application of the Regulations in this sector.

The rapporteur said that he could accept the two amendments that the Council had made to the initial proposal: the first of these related to the procedure and the second, which was of a technical nature, to the creation of a distinct category for the three abovementioned forms of art. For his part, Commissioner Monti fully supported the common position of the Council concerning the return of cultural works unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State.
