Nationals of a Member State of the European Community or of a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area who permanently carry out the activity of voluntary sales of furniture by public auction in one of these States other than France may carry out this professional activity in France on an occasional basis. This activity may only be carried out after a declaration has been made to the Conseil des Maisons de Vente. The declaration must be made at least one month before the date of the first sale in France. This declaration must be renewed once a year if the service provider intends to carry out his professional activity on an occasional basis during the year in question or in the event of a material change in his professional situation.
