<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2878775, member: 39&quot;]Seems to me that in countries that might be considered places of origin of many artifacts, legislation regarding cultural property focuses on their protection - at least in the sense of not letting rare artifacts out of the country. Does not have much to do with the European Union per se; many other countries, take Turkey or Israel for example, are also quite &quot;protective&quot; in that regard.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I wrote, using the IS as an excuse for stricter regulation regarding the export of cultural property is exaggerated in my opinion. Also, personally I do not mind (with few exceptions) if cultural artifacts are sold to museums or collectors in other countries. What I do not want is collectors who support or encourage illegal excavations by not caring about pedigrees.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
