Article R321-56 of the French Commercial code

Nationals of a State other than France, which is a member of the European Union or a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, who carry out the activity of voluntary sales of furniture by public auction on a permanent or occasional basis, are required to take out the guarantees mentioned in 2° and 3° of Article L. 321-6.

They are deemed to satisfy these obligations if they can prove that they have taken out equivalent insurance and guarantees in terms of the terms and extent of the cover, in accordance with the rules of the State in which they took out the insurance. In the absence of complete equivalence, they shall be required to take out supplementary insurance or a guarantee.
