5. Order on trade in second-hand goods and pawnbroking activities

6. This Order concerns traders, including online operators, operating activities in the trade in or purchase of second-hand goods, sale of second-hand goods by online auctions, lending of money against pledges or the negotiation of such loans (pawnbroking activities)

7.

8. According to Section 2 of the draft Act on trade in second-hand goods and pawnbroking activities, covered traders established in Denmark (both service providers in general and information society services) are subject to licence requirements from the police as a condition for operating their activities. Under Sections 1(4) and 13(1) of the proposal, the Minister for Justice may lay down detailed rules on the exercise of activities and permitted contractual terms. Furthermore, Section 12(2) of the proposal provides that fines may be imposed for infringements of the Order.

The draft Order on trade in second-hand goods and pawnbroking activities will implement the relevant enabling provisions.

This Order lays down detailed rules on:
* the types of economic activities that are subject to police supervision (Section 1 of the Order, which is laid down pursuant to Section 1(3) of the draft Act);
* licence holders must, in certain situations, require customers’ identification (Section 2 of the Order, which is laid down pursuant to Section 13(1) of the draft Act);
* exercise of pawnbroking activities, including that the pawnbroker may not enter into an agreement whereby the loan is to be repaid within 3 months and that the pawnbroker may not receive higher interest on sums lent than 1.5 % per commenced month (Chapter 3 of the Order, to be laid down pursuant to Section 13(1) of the draft Act);
* penalties for infringements of certain provisions of the Order (Section 9 of the Order, which is laid down pursuant to Section 12(2) of the draft Act).

With regard to Directive (EU) 2015/1535 (the Information Procedure Directive), a draft Order on trade in second-hand goods and pawnbroking activities is notified.

Article 8a of Directive 93/13/EEC (on unfair terms in consumer contracts) is also notified of the above-mentioned draft Order, in particular Sections 3 and 4 of the Order on contractual terms of pawnbrokers.

9. The Order is to be seen in the context of the draft Act on trade in second-hand goods and pawnbroking activities, which aims to help ensure the control of the trade in second-hand goods and the resale of stolen, falsified or illegally exported goods.

It is considered that the draft Act and the scheme of the Order, including licence requirements, are necessary, proportionate and justified by an overriding reason relating to the public interest in particular for the prevention of and fight against financial crime.
