Auction: Requesting an extension of the deadline for the notification of an auction

If you wish to hold an auction, you must notify the relevant authorities at least two weeks before the planned auction date.

The notification must be submitted to the competent authority in whose district the auction is to take place and to the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in whose district the auction is to take place.

In exceptional cases, you can apply for a shortened deadline or the authorisation of an exception:

• Shortening the notification period of at least two weeks before the auction date, especially in the case of perishable auctioned goods

• Exemption from the obligation to have the auctioned item inspected for at least two hours (if you give the bidders sufficient opportunity to assess the auctioned item in another way)

If you apply for an extension of the deadline or authorisation of an exception, fees may apply.

No notification is required for the auction of agricultural inventory, agricultural and forestry products or livestock.

• §§ Sections 3, 6 of the Auctioneers Ordinance (VerstV)
• § Section 11 of the Trade Regulation Act (GewO) (Data protection notice)
• Tariff item 207 of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Trade Costs Ordinance (GewKostVO M-V)

• Details of the place and time (i.e. start and end) of the auction,
• Designation of the product category,
• Licence certificate for the auctioneer trade in accordance with the Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act, if not already available.
• Assurance that a copy of the notification including documents will also be sent to the responsible Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

The following additional information or documents are required for the auction of unused items permitted under the Auctioning Ordinance:

• The reason for the auction and the names and addresses of the clients.

Further necessary documents and information must be provided on request.

In order to be able to register an auction with the competent authority, you must have a valid licence to operate an auctioneering business in accordance with the Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act.

You must notify the competent authority and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in whose district the auction is to be held of the auction in writing or electronically at least two weeks before the auction date.

If no objections are raised, the auction can take place.

The deadline begins when the authority receives the complete written or electronic notification. If any of the required information is missing from the notification and the authority must therefore request it separately, the time limit shall not begin to run until the missing information is provided, meaning that the planned auction must be postponed accordingly.

You may only start a new auction at the location of the previous auction if the previous auction ended at least five working days ago. No auction may exceed six days. The competent authority may authorise exceptions to the aforementioned time limits in individual cases, particularly in the case of property auctions, if necessary after obtaining an opinion from the local Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

Subsequent notification of individual auctioned items is possible if the requirements of the Auctioneers Ordinance are met. The subsequent registration (notification) must be made immediately.

• Objection (depending on national law, the objection may be excluded),
• Administrative court action
