The conference will discuss opportunities and challenges for the EC’s proposal to review Reg. 258/2012 on import, export and transit measures for firearms, their essential components and ammunition, currently under discussion in the INTA Committee.

The revision has a number of objectives; on the one hand, the need for increased security when importing and exporting firearms into the EU.

On the other hand, the facilitation of the legal trade of firearms to ensure a level playing field and reduce the administrative burden placed on economic operators and firearms owners.

Speakers will intervene to discuss the revision of Reg. 258/2012 and its likely impacts on trade, industry, hunting, sports shooting, firearms collecting, etc.
