In addition to the necessary registration system for weapons held by private individuals or other entities, in accordance with the law, each Member State shall keep a register ensuring that weapons seized by the authorities or forfeited to the State will be traceable from the moment when they are handed over or seized until such time as they are destroyed by the authorities or again placed on the market.
„Poleg potrebnega sistema registracije orožja, ki ga v skladu z zakonom hranijo fizične osebe ali drugi subjekti, ima vsaka država članica register, s katerim zagotovi sledljivost orožja, ki ga zasežejo organi ali se izroči državi, od trenutka njegove predaje ali zasega do takrat, ko ga organi uničijo ali je znova dano v promet.“
