Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art

The Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA) is a committee of the British government, advising the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the export of cultural property. Some of its roles were shifted to the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council in 2005 after the Goodison Report, and Arts Council England now provides the secretariat to the committee. It is currently chaired by Andrew Hochhauser.

Waverley Criteria
The RCEWA was established in 1952, in accordance with the recommendations of the Waverley Committee, and assesses the objects before it against the three "Waverley Criteria": • Is it closely connected with our history and national life? • Is it of outstanding aesthetic importance? • Is it of outstanding significance for the study of some particular branch of art, learning or history? The Committee designates an object as a "national treasure" if it considers that its departure from the UK would be a misfortune on one or more of the above three grounds, ==Chair==
