United Kingdom DCMS has transferred the work of issuing export licences and administering the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art & Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA) to the Museums Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). The MLA is the competent authority for the issuing of Community Export Licences (EU export licences) and UK Export Licences through its Export Licensing Unit: http://www.mla.gov.uk. The export licensing controls for objects of cultural interest are designed to balance the need to keep nationally important objects in the UK, the rights of owners and the encouragement of a thriving art trade. Do I need an export licence? There are two licensing regimes in place: the national legislation (under the 2003 Order) and EU legislation as described in Chapter 2. Under UK export legislation all cultural objects, manufactured or produced more than 50 years before the date of exportation require an export licence (some limited exceptions apply). Henry Moore, “Mother and Child Studies and Reclining Figure”, 1977, lithograph in two colours 382 x 310mm, edition of 20 + 5 on T.H. Saunders 705 x 559mm, Printer: Curwen Prints Ltd, London 1978. In 2007 the British Council presented Henry Moore’s graphics in twelve museums across Russia, under the heading of a new British Council programme entitled Russian Ring. Six museums and galleries west of the Urals and six to the east were selected: Volgograd, Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Nizny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Rostov, Samara, Sochi, Tomsk and Yaroslavl. Curatorial staff members from all twelve museums visited Britain and as a result began to develop a series of exhibitions. Henry Moore – Master Printmaker was the exhibition that launched the programme. Reproduced by permission of The Henry Moore Foundation. The UK’s Open General Export Licence (OGEL) allows the general export of cultural objects that are valued below certain financial thresholds – these are quoted in the OGEL regulations. If you want to export cultural objects which are valued above these levels, you will need an individual export licence. Most cultural objects exported to Russia would be subject to EU export licensing legislation: if they fall into the relevant categories, plus age or age and value criteria, you will need an EU licence (see Annex to Council Regulation 3911/92). The MLA provides a number of clearly written, downloadable leaflets and guidelines
Chapter 3: European Union Member States United Kingdom on exporting cultural goods. For further details about which objects require a licence you should refer to the Guidance to Exporters of Cultural Goods leaflet: http://www.mla.gov. uk/resources/assets//G/Guidance_leaflet_for_exporters_of_cultural_goods_11506.pdf. The MLA has launched a Cultural Property Advice website, aimed at people buying and selling works of art, antiques and antiquities. Start with the page on Export/Import regulations: http://www.culturalpropertyadvice.gov.uk/trade/export_import_regulations. Are there different types of licence? What type of licence do I need? There are various different licences. What type you need depends on: • The category of cultural goods • Where the goods are exported to • The value of the cultural goods • Whether it is for temporary or permanent export The UK export licensing procedures are well explained in the information provided by the MLA. Given the high level of trade in art and antiques to and from the UK, there is a considerable amount of expertise in this field and the Export Licensing Unit can advise on particular circumstances. There are five different types of export licence although not all apply to EU – Russia export: • UK licence (applies to export to all destinations but it is not required when an EU licence is granted) • EU licence (export to countries outside the EU) • Open General Export Licence/OGEL (export inside the EU only) • EU Open Specific Export Licence (for the temporary export of musical instruments by professional musicians to countries outside the EU) • Open Individual Export Licence/OIEL (only issued to National Museums, National Galleries and reputable dealers) An export licence under EU law (an EU licence) may be required where an object is being exported to a country which is not a member of the European Union, e.g. Russia. A licence under UK law (a UK licence) may be required if an object is being exported to a country outside the United Kingdom. If an EU licence is granted, you do not need to obtain a UK licence as well. Both UK and EU licences are issued by the MLA. There are different application forms for each. They are described as ‘individual licences’ although a licence may cover more than one object. An alternative scheme, the UK Open General Export Licence (OGEL), may apply in particular circumstances for export within the European Union but is not relevant for UK – Russia exports of cultural goods. An individual EU Open Specific Export Licence can be issued for a musical instrument to enable its temporary export outside the EU for use in the course of work by a professional musician. This is explained in more detail in the musicians section below. 225
