Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1081/2012 sets out the form in which standard export licences are to be drawn up. It is intended to guarantee standardised checks on the export of cultural goods outside the borders of the Union.
Two other types of export licence are provided for, namely:
specific open licences, to be issued for specific cultural goods which are liable to be temporarily exported from the Union on a regular basis for use and/or exhibition in a third country,
general open licences, to be issued to museums or other institutions to cover the temporary export of any of the goods that belong to their permanent collections that are liable to be temporarily exported from the Union on a regular basis for exhibition in a third country.
The sheets can be identified by their numbering and function, indicated in the left-hand margin. Their order in the set is as follows:
:
application to be kept by the issuing authority (indicate in each Member State the identity of that authority); in the case of additional lists, as many sheets No 1 as necessary must be used; it is up to the competent issuing authorities to establish whether more than one export licence should be issued,
:
to be presented in support of the export declaration at the competent customs office of export and kept by the licence holder after it has been stamped by that office,
:
to be presented at the competent customs office of export and to accompany the consignment thereafter until its arrival at the customs office of exit from the customs territory of the Union; the customs office of exit stamps this sheet and then returns it to the issuing authority.
