Two amendments proposed by the
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) to a draft legislative
bill on competition law are expected to reduce the high cost of
car insurance in Italy, party officials said Friday.
The amendments, passed with support of government parties,
oblige insurance companies to give discounted prices to anyone
buying insurance for more than one vehicle or anyone who takes
out a policy for named drivers only.
"This is a concrete contribution to reducing the tariffs of
car insurance, given that Italy is still at the head of the EU
standings for expensive premiums and motorists pay 177 euros
more a year than the Germans, French and Spanish," the
opposition M5S said in a statement.
