- Abstract
The main reason of the development and the existence of illegal metal trade is due to the fact that public regulations are not adequate. The advantages coming from illegal trade of different metals obviously surpass the possible costs of active participation in it. As far as the social and economical correlations of this phenomenon are concerned, one can define at least four elements which are the following: market regulation, tax system, different participants of metal trade and the government itself. The recognition of those disadvantages which affect society and certain social groups can serve as a base for legalization. The right treatment of these problems is a must in order to find a solution for the problem. Successful governmental action can result in positive effects if the efficiency of intelligence is intensified, if laws are made stricter, thus pushing back illegal participation and at the same time elevating possible costs associated with participation. Different studies on illegal metal trade indicate that the main reasons of the extension of trade in this sphere are due to inappropriate regulations on work-incomes, defects in administration, extended corruption, instability of the price of metals and finally, inadequate governmental work. To solve these problems, a complex package of measurements are needed.
