In adopting the report by Mr Willi ROTHLEY (PSE, D) Parliament amended the Commission
proposal by calling in particular for an extension of the scope of the directive to non-member
countries of the Union and the extension of the task of the information centres, which would be
required to keep registers of registered vehicles, insurance companies, the numbers of insurance
policies and the names and addresses of insurance holders.
Parliament also provided for Member States to be required to create a compensation body which had
to take action within two months of the request for compensation in cases where the representative
had not taken action and to establish a series of deadlines to ensure that rapid compensation was
received by the victims of accidents.
