FIA: European Commission proposals do not meet expectations

The FIA says the European Commission’s proposed changes to the Motor Insurance Directive have not met 𒐪its requirements and will aim to continue to seek further a🦂mendments.

A consolation has been held by the European Commission on ⛄a ruling which the FIA describes as “potentially highly detrimental due to the unintended economic impact” forced by the possible new ruling.

The new ruling would require all motorised vehicles to have unlimited third party liability insurance, including on priva💎te land, which would see crashes at race circuits treated as potential road traffic accidents and cause police involvement.

Fears have also been triggered on the costs of the new insurance requirements which could effectively make motorsport unviabꦯle across all European member countries.

The FIA, together with European National Sporting Authorities, have held talks on the proposals and in October 2017 asked the European Commission consider an amendme🅺nt to “take into account the unique characteristics of motorsport”. Following a European Co🦹mmission statement on the proposal alterations the FIA has confirmed it is not satisfied with the changes.
