Proposal (10/6/02) for motor insurance against civil liability. Main points: the minimum sum should be set at €2 million throughout the EU; three-month deadline for registration of car with foreign plates; where an accident occurs and the vehicle cannot be linked to a specific country it will be linked to the country in which the accident occurred; insurance companies claims-representatives or branch offices in Member States should be able to settle claims; a person who buys a car abroad should be able to obtain 2-4 weeks full insurance to cover the return journey to the buyer’s own country.
