14 Amendments of Daniel DALTON related to 2018/0168(COD)

Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Any existing or new types of motor vehicles fall within the scope of Directive 2009/103/EC. However, some vehicles are less likely to cause significant damage to persons or property than others. It would be disproportionate to extend the scope of compulsory third party liability insurance to such vehicles. It is therefore necessary to limit the scope of Directive 2009/103/EC to those vehicles for which the Union considers that safety and security requirements are necessary before they are placed in the market, i.e. vehicles that are subject to type-approval. In line with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, requirements at EU level should cover those vehicles that have the potential to cause significant damage and might be used in a cross-border situation. Nothing in this Directive prevents Member States from maintaining or introducing new provisions covering these vehicles. Member States should continue to be able to decide at national level the appropriate level of protection of road users who may be injured by vehicles other than those subject to type-approval.

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 b (new)
(3b) It is further appropriate to exclude from the scope of Directive 2009/103/EC all vehicles intended exclusively for use in non-traffic situations. These vehicles are generally used in controlled environments and are subject to other forms of liability insurance, such as employers’ or public liability insurance, which ensures that injured parties received adequate compensation. However, it should continue to be possible for individual Member States to decide whether compulsory motor insurance is the appropriate form of cover for these vehicles and under what conditions.

Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 c (new)
(3c) Use of vehicles in traffic includes the use of a vehicle on a road or other public place. Traffic implies a certain degree of volume and regularity. The isolated use of a vehicle for other purposes in areas without public access should not be seen as the use of a vehicle in traffic and should not lead to an obligation to hold compulsory insurance. Where a vehicle is used in non-traffic- related situations, Member States should be able to limit the scope of compulsory insurance. This is particularly relevant in situations where the principal function of the vehicle, at the time of the accident, was related to secondary functions of that vehicle. Nothing in this Directive prevents Member States from maintaining or introducing new provisions that extend the scope of compulsory motor insurance to these situations.

Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 d (new)
(3d) To avoid a situation where insurance is required for vehicles which are registered but incapable of being moved because they are in a museum, because they are undergoing restoration or because they are not being used for a lengthy period of time and are immobilised by the disconnection of the battery or other essential component, the scope of Directive 2009/103/EC should be explicitly limited to vehicles which are capable of use.

Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) Previous claims histories of policyholders who seek to conclude new insurance contracts with insurance undertakings should be easily authenticated in order to facilitate the recognition of such claims history when concluding a new insurance policy. In order to simplify the verification and authentication of claims history statements, it is important that the content and format of the statement of such claims histories are the same across all Member States. In addition, insurance undertakings that take into account claims history statements to determine motor insurance premiums should not discriminate on the basis of nationality or solely on the basis of the previous Member State of residence of the policyholder. To enable Member States to verify how insurance undertakings treat claims history statements, insurance undertakings should publish their policies in respect of their use of claims history when calculating premiums.
