Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 8 a (new)
(8 a) The following Article 10c is inserted: Article 10c Member States shall take measures to ensure that long semi-automatic firearms including firearms which have been converted from originally automatic firearms cannot be reconverted into automatic firearms. Mechanical design of any particular type of long semi- automatic firearms including conversions of any particular type of originally automatic firearms into semi-automatic firearms must be authorised for civilian use by a competent public authority before being placed on the market. If a Member State does not establish a competent authority, Member States shall make arrangements for exercise of authorisation by a competent authority established by the other Member State in order to ensure that the mechanical design or modifications made to a firearm make a conversion into automatic firearm impossible. The Commission shall adopt minimum technical standards and techniques to ensure that semi-automatic firearms including firearms which have been converted from originally automatic firearms cannot be converted into automatic firearms. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 13b(2).
