Mission & Interests
Goals: ROCAD.be must fulfill three main missions. First, it ensures the respect of the professional ethics (as defined in a code of ethics). The code specifies the requirements of its members in terms of expertise, the fight against the illegal trade in cultural property, the fight against money laundering, authenticity and a certain degree of discretion. The second mission is to inform the members permanently by providing information and advice on tax, accounting and legislative questions (import and export, customs, ...). Concretely, this means organizing two to three meetings a year and one or two study days whose themes are related to the exercise of the profession. The fact-finding mission also involves a presence at BRAFA and the publication of the directory which makes the members known to the public. The third mission concerns the defense of the art market before public authorities and the defense of its members in general.
