Consultation on implementing Article 4(4)-4a(1) of the Fifth Motor Insurance Directive

A consultation by HM Treasury seeking views on the Government's intended approach to implementation of one part of the EU's Fifth Motor Insurance Directive. The consultation opened on 1 March and closes on 24 May 2007.

Broadly, Article 4(4)-4a(1) provides, in circumstances where a vehicle is dispatched from one EEA State to another, a 30-day derogation from the general rule that motor insurance cover can only be provided by an insurer authorised to write business in the Member State in which the vehicle is registered. This provision is intended to make it easier for consumers to purchase insurance where a vehicle is being imported from one EEA State to another.

The consultation is available below in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF).
