Summary/Abstract: The blurring borders and disappearance of barriers in the international trade in goods leads to the phenomenon called globalisation of trade which includes the international and internal art market, too. With approval of various legal provisions, this market is controlled and limited not only in particular states, but also in the European Union. Parallelly, an important role is played by traditional general regulations, for instance those concerning liquidating results of wartime looting or “regular” theft committed in the time of peace. Finally, international cooperation is initiated in response to phenomena which are especially negative for the heritage in a particular country or countries.
