European Union, as well as other international organizations, has adopted a range of documents on prevention of illegal actions with cultural objects. We offer you the list of these documents.
-
Regulation EC n°116/2009 introduces uniform controls for the prevention of illegal exports of cultural goods at the external borders of the Union, which allow the competent (Culture and Customs) authorities of the Member States from which the cultural goods are to be exported to a country outside the EU to take the interests of the other Member States into account. This is because, in the absence of such controls, abolishing checks at the physical borders within the EU would have meant that a national treasure unlawfully removed from a Member State could be presented at a customs office of another Member State and exported easily to a third country. Only cultural goods that were subject to complete and uniform controls (documents and expertise) could leave the EU territory and be legally exported outside the EU.

Council Regulation (EC) No 116/2009 of 18 December 2008 on the export of cultural goods (Codified version) - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A32009R0116
-
Directive 2014/60/EU complements this preventive instrument by providing mechanisms and a procedure for restoring national treasures when these have been unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State. While the aim of the Regulation is to avoid national treasures being taken out of the EU territory without controls, the Directive, for its part, deals with the arrangements for restoring/returning such treasures to the Member State of origin when they have been unlawfully removed from it.

Directive 2014/60/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the return of cultural objects unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State and amending Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 (Recast) - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32014L0060
-
Regulation (EU) 2019/880 on the introduction and the import of cultural goods was adopted to make sure that only cultural goods that were legally exported from third countries where they were created or discovered could be imported in the EU. Import or introduction of illegal cultural goods in the Union is prohibited and procedures for the import of cultural goods in the Union are set out. This new Regulation provides for a system of import licences issued by Member States competent authorities for the most endangered cultural goods, and for the submission of importer statements to customs for other, less endangered categories of cultural goods. The Commission will develop a centralised electronic system for the storage and exchange of information between administrations in the Member States and the accomplishment of formalities by operators. This also implies the possibility of returning cultural goods to third countries when they were illicitly exported from there .

I just have to testify about this here and let everyone know how much better I feel right now. I had over $800k in bitcoin Lost to a fake investor online that I came across last three mouths through a colleague of mine at work which also lost her investment along the line though she has been investing with the company for months too and been paid out severally before this happened tried reaching the team but did not get any feedback for several weeks, at some point I thought about getting a hacker to see if that will help and then I read about a team called GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER. They helped people retrieve their lost funds in investment or even stolen from their bank accounts. I reached out to him without hesitating and the outcome was wonderful. After retrieving the whole money he also worked for my colleague and is in the final stage of retrieving the last investment she made. Thank you for the heroic work you do for the helpless and hopeless. If you find it hard to reach him through email then contact him through
