Highlights - Motor Insurance Directive - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

MEPs adopted on 13 February (562 to 36 and 19 abstentions) changes to motor insurance rules to better protect road accident victims and tackle uninsured driving in the EU. The proposal aims to improve the current Motor Insurance Directive in five areas: compensating victims of accidents where an insurer goes bankrupt; minimum amounts of cover; member states’ checks on vehicle insurance; how claims history statements are used by a new insurance company; and the scope of the directive.
