Signing 12 int'l agreements for protecting, restoring Egyptian antiquities
Secretary General of the Supreme Council for Antiquities Dr. Zahi Hawwas said that bilateral agreements that Egypt signed with the European countries help in the work of missions. But within the framework of the controls and conditions which the Permanent Committee of Mission's Affairs in Egypt put, we can't issue an agreement which contradicts with these conditions, Dr. Hawwas said.
He said that the council signs bilateral agreements for facilitating the measures of restoring antiquities, as well as putting guarantees for preserving them under the control of the local authority of every country till our procedures are finished.
Dr. Hawwas said that these agreements were signed with Italy, Greece, Denmark, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Jordan, Peru, Switzerland, Romania, Ukraine, Somalia and India. He added that there is new agreement under study in the National Committee with the US which is expected to be the most major agreement.
