THE European Commission is to publish a ‘Citizens’ Guide’ on car registration for fleet managers looking to sell used cars to foreign European Union (EU) member states. It focuses particularly on the re-registration of vehicles after they are sold.

The publication comes ahead of new rules that must be introduced in EU member states by June 11, by which a vehicle dispatched from one member state to another must have insurance secured in the destination country, even if a vehicle has yet to be re-registered. Purchasers get 30 days’ grace to buy insurance after delivery.
