**WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2045/97 by Philippe MONFILS to the Commission. Illegal trade in cultural artefacts** 
  
*Official Journal C 045 , 10/02/1998 P. 0148*

  

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2045/97 by Philippe Monfils (ELDR) to the Commission (13 June 1997)

Subject: Illegal trade in cultural artefacts

For many years, one of the methods used to combat the illegal trade in cultural artefacts has been marking.

Many reports have been drawn up and much work has already been done on this procedure.

Does the Commission intend to carry out a study on this issue with the aim of reaching conclusions about the reliability of marking cultural artefacts?

Answer given by Mr Oreja on behalf of the Commission (23 July 1997)

The Commission would point out that this question is exactly the same as the Honourable Member's Written Question E-1631/97.

The Commission would therefore refer the Honourable Member to the answer it has already given to that question ((See page 66. )).
