Slovakia Chapter 3: European Union Member States It is likely that you will have to apply to the Ministry of Culture, unless you intend to export archives or archival documents over 50 years old, in which case you apply to the Ministry of Interior. The procedure for issuing a licence can last a number of weeks, so you may have to leave the object in Slovakia and then arrange for its transport to Russia. In any case, the object has to be presented to Slovak customs together with the export declaration. Is there a fee for an export licence? No, you do not have to pay a fee for the issuing of a licence. Does the cultural object need to be valued? If so, who will do this? The Ministry of Culture decides on the permanent export of an object of museum or gallery value based on the recommendation of the advisory body of the Ministry of Culture – the Commission for the Protection of Parts of the Cultural Heritage – which also verifies whether the object is recorded as a cultural monument in the Central List of Historical Monuments Fund. The applicant is obliged to submit an expert opinion on request and bears the costs of this opinion. Can I appeal against the valuation? If so, how do I do this? Assessment of the objects is conducted by experts in the relevant field. Under the national legislation it is possible to file a complaint. Complaints against the experts while performing their expert activities are handled by the Ministry of Justice. If an export licence is refused, can I appeal? How do I do that? According to Act No. 71/1967 Coll. on administrative proceedings (Administrative Code) in the wording of Act No. 215/2002 Coll., an appeal against the decision on the rejection of an export permit is possible. Which customs authorities are empowered to deal with the export of cultural goods? All customs offices. What other paperwork do I need to export a cultural object? You need to present the export licence to Slovak customs together with the export declaration. What are the penalties if I do something wrong? According to the regime for issuing export permits as set out in Article 9 of Council Regulation 3911/92, each Member State shall establish sanctions for violations of provisions of this Regu- 194
Chapter 3: European Union Member States Slovakia lation. Such sanctions are not directly established in the laws of the Slovak Republic. Sanctions only apply to the failure to adhere to obligations in the case of the export of objects of museum and gallery value as set out in Act No. 115/1998 Coll. and to objects protected by special regulation (i.e. national cultural monument, archive documents, library document or fund). Issues relating to the protection of the cultural heritage and antiques are partially governed by the new Criminal Act No. 300/2005 Coll. More specifically, it is included in § 249 – Damaging and Devaluation of Cultural Heritage and in other paragraphs such as § 212 – Theft. Sanctions for the violation of obligations in the case of the export and import of goods of cultural character can be imposed by two bodies: • The Ministry of Culture can impose fines in relation to objects of museum and gallery value, collection objects (Act No.115/1998 Coll). In relation to cultural monuments, sanctions of the following kinds may apply: a) offences (regulated by Act No.49/2002 Coll); b) other acts of administrative misconduct (regulated by Act No.49/2002 Coll). • The Ministry of Interior can impose fines of up to 100,000 Sk for those who export archival documents without a licence or who import such documents without a permit from their country of origin (sanctions as set out in Act No. 395/2002 Coll. on archives and registries and on amendments to some acts in the valid wording). Are there any special export restrictions on certain objects or other considerations I should know about? Yes. Slovak legislation protects specific categories of goods, so you may find that the licence you apply for is denied, or that only temporary export is allowed for the object you want to export. Goods that are considered as historical monuments or parts thereof cannot be permanently exported from Slovakia. The permanent export of a collection object is possible through exchange, based on a permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. In exceptional cases the Government, based on the proposal of the Ministry of Culture, will issue a permit for the permanent export of a collection object for reasons other than exchange. For library documents of a historical character, permanent export is also exceptional, on decision of the Government based on the proposal of the Ministry of Culture. Otherwise, their temporary export can be allowed by the Ministry of Culture. Archival documents that form part of the archival heritage of Slovakia cannot be permanently exported from the country. What are the requirements if I want to import cultural goods into Slovakia from Russia? There are no specific formalities related to such imports. You must fill in a special declaration form and present it to customs. 195
