The Committee on the Illicit Trade of Archaeological and Cultural Material represents the European Association of Archaeologists in matters regarding the illicit trade. It will:

- Endeavour to raise awareness in the European archaeological community of the problems caused by the illicit trade;
- Explore ways in which national and pan-European executive bodies may be encouraged to adopt appropriate legislative counter-measures;
- Lobby national and pan-European executive bodies accordingly;
- Act on behalf of the EAA when asked to do so by the Executive Board.
