Clarity from the Ministry of the Interior on the interpretation of the Ministerial Decree of 9 August 2011 regarding the detention by the retailers of primers and primed cases.
With his own press release to the sector press bodies, the director of ANPAM, Mauro Silvis, announces the content of the response from the Ministry of the Interior to the question posed by the recent Ministerial Decree of 9/8/2011 regarding the correct interpretation of the same in the part concerning the limits to the possession of primers and primed shells by the minute sales exercises regulated in paragraph 2 of art. 1 of Chapter VI of Annex B to the TULPS Regulation, as amended by the Ministerial Decree of 9 August 2011.
We read in the ANPAM press release: “As you will remember, the Ministerial Decree of 9/8/2011 established some not entirely clear limits to the detention by retailers of primers and primed shells.
The ANPAM has obtained that the rules are correctly interpreted so that the limit of 25.000 primers and 50.000 primed cases refers exclusively to the premises open to the public of small-scale retail outlets.
We believe that this clarification is useful for operators who will be able to continue to send and receive these types of products without limitations, taking into account the usual requirements on the characteristics of the premises, the compatibility criteria between explosive products and the stowage criteria. "
Best regards,
Mauro Silvis
