The European Commission, the European Union’s administrative arm, has given the Italian government three weeks in which to end its price freeze on automobile insurance premiums, in effect since the beginning of the year.
The Commission found that the restrictions on premium increases,enacted as part of a larger package of anti-inflationary measures, were incompatible with the unrestricted commercialization of insurance products within the EU, as guaranteed by the directives governing the free movement of services.
