This report is the first-reading position of the European Parliament on a Commission proposal concerning the simplification of transferring motor vehicles which are already registered in one member state into another. Currently, every member state has its own system of re-registration for motor vehicles and they are often very bureaucratic and complicated. In the Commission's consultation with citizens, one of the top 20 issues raised as a problem affecting the functioning of the single market was the transfer of motor vehicles to another member state.
