Answer

How could gold purchases be better regulated to reduce fencing?

Proposed measures include mandatory registration for gold purchases over 100 euros, requiring an ID copy, a photo of the jewelry, and electronic reporting to a central database. This would help authorities trace items and close gaps in the buy-back chain. The aim is to make fencing harder and improve accountability.
