The amended proposal adapts the original proposal on a number of points as suggested by the European Parliament.
The Commission has decided to accept twelve amendments proposed by Parliament. Amendment 1 is accepted in part. The last sentence of this amendment suggests that setting up a system of compulsory insurance must not affect insurers in anyway. The Commission feels that this sentence should be removed as it does not reflect reality. Setting up a compulsory insurance system will inevitably affect the insurance market.
