"Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur and shadows. The purpose of this report is to reduce red tape by making it easier, quicker and cheaper for people and companies to re-register their vehicles when moving across EU borders. This is one of top ten complaints by EU citizens when moving to another Member State: re-registering vehicles is complex, difficult, burdensome and costly.
The changes in this report have the potential to make it simpler for citizens and make our roads safer. These are positive measures which we should be focusing on and fighting for. Sadly, instead, some Members on the right of this House have chosen to deliberately distort this technical file for their own ends. Let me be very clear: UK number plates will not be axed by the EU; there will be no compulsory EU number plate and yes, people in Scotland will still be able to put the saltire on their number plates if they choose.
I hope that in the future, in the next Parliament, we will see a speedy resolution and it is a pity that the Council walked out of this Chamber when we were starting to discuss this. That was a real pity."@en1
