Romania Chapter 3: European Union Member States non-classifi ed (i.e. if they are on the national inventory). The procedures are set out in Hotarare nr. 518/2004. For classified goods, the temporary export licence is issued by the Ministry and signed by the Minister of Culture. For unclassified goods, the export licences are issued by the County Directorates. Certain timeframes are stated in the legislation and it should take a maximum of 30 days to issue an export certificate. How do I find out if the art object I want to export is of national significance? Is there a Public Inventory of cultural goods of special interest or importance? Romanian cultural heritage legislation sets out the procedure for the classification of cultural goods through a National Database of Movable Cultural Heritage. There are two categories of protected cultural objects: Treasure (universal – exceptional value) and Fund (national – outstanding value), neither of which can be exported permanently. At present cultural objects are all classified as Treasure in one inventory but it is planned to differentiate between the two types in future work on the classification system. The present day inventory contains some 7,500 objects, is updated weekly, and can be consulted online at: http://www.cimec.ro/scripts/PCN/Clasate/Clasate.asp. According to information from the European Heritage Network database (http://www. european-heritage.net) the inventory work on cultural heritage in Romania is carried out by specialists employed by museums, various institutes of art, archaeology, ethnography and folklore, and socio-human research. CIMEC is the main public institution of the Ministry of Culture for the documentation of cultural heritage and keeping the databases of cultural heritage. It receives the dossiers of classified goods from the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs (Museums, Collections and Government Guarantees Department). Each object has a dossier with application, expertise, classification proposal, photos etc. together with a copy of the Order of the Minister of Culture regarding the classification of the object. CIMEC maintains the records, updates the database and publishes the inventory of classified goods. An EU-funded PHARE project for an information system has been initiated which will allow all those concerned – CIMEC, the customs offices, Ministry of Finance, County Directorates for Culture and Heritage and the Heritage Police – to have direct online access to the databases. This will allow them to check the export licence, list of classified cultural goods, database of stolen art objects etc. This system is expected to be operational by 2009. Are there any exemptions for particular cultural goods? According to Hotarare 518/2004 cultural goods which are exempt from needing an export 186
Chapter 3: European Union Member States Romania certificate are works by living artists (visual arts, photography, decorative arts, ethnographic and popular art). Do museums and galleries need licences for temporary exports (e.g. a touring exhibition)? Do non-profit organisations need export licences? Yes. Museums, galleries and non-profit organisations must apply for licences. Any cultural goods that fall under any the Romanian national legislation and/or EU export licence legislation must be covered by an export licence, whatever the type of applicant or purpose. According to the legislation, cultural goods which are in public ownership can only be exported on a temporary basis for the purposes of exhibition, restoration, laboratory investigation or expertise. Contracts must be provided with the application giving details of transport, conservation and security measures and other documentation according to the legislation. Romania has adopted measures for the insurance of temporarily exported movable cultural goods/cultural property through a Government Guarantee Certificate. This can be issued to museums and galleries in Romania to offer state indemnity protection for cultural goods identifiable as ‘national treasures’ which are brought into Romania for temporary exhibitions. Similar national treasures from Romania which are sent abroad for exhibitions can travel without insurance if a Government Guarantee Certificate is provided by the receiving country. Information is available in English at: http://www.cultura.ro/Documents.aspx?ID=184. I am a visual artist. Do I need a licence to export my own work? No. Art work which belongs to “the originator” (i.e. the artist who created it) does not require an export licence under the EU export licence legislation, whatever its age or value. Therefore you do not need a licence to export your own work if you still own it yourself. Romanian legislation also has exemptions for work made by living artists, as described above. I am a musician. Do I need to know about export regulations if I am travelling with my instrument? Yes. Any musician who wishes to travel outside the European Union with a musical instrument which is over a certain age and value must obtain an EU export licence (as described in Chapter 2). This applies whether the export is temporary, e.g. for a concert tour, or permanent. I am a tourist visiting Romania. If I buy a work of art, how do I take it home with me? You must consult the export regulations for Romania and Council Regulation 3911/92 to determine whether your art work falls under any of the categories which require an export 187
