Except of course, that the last paragraph says: "Chairman Julius Berman said it was 'now the responsibility of museums, art dealers and auction houses to check their holdings against these records to determine whether they might be in possession of art stolen from Holocaust victims'."  This seems to naively assume that art dealers, among others, wish to know that they are in possession of stolen art.  Let's not hold our collective breath on that coming to pass.
