lpv:translated text	"Thank you Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for answering at such length and in such excellent Dutch. We are not always used to hearing you speak like that in this Chamber, so thank you once again. You correctly stated that the Commission was aiming to abolish the Belgian no-claims bonus system and move towards a free tariff structure. I have recently spoken to some representatives of insurance companies, who agreed that the new free tariff system could be beneficial to good drivers. But they make the point: what about those who are more clumsy? What about young people who are often persuaded to take out high premiums? The insurance industry is convinced that the new regulations will increase the general level of premiums, and that accident-prone drivers in particular will want to slip out of the system, leading to a rise in the number of uninsured drivers. I should therefore like to take this opportunity to ask the Commissioner once again, in the light of his proposals and current legislation, what the Commission can do to prevent insurance tariffs rising too high, excessive discrepancies in pricing and accident-prone drivers being squeezed out of the system. What might the Commission be able to do? Is the Commission considering introducing a system based on ranges around a mean, where for instance the standard rate would be 100, with good drivers paying 50 and bad drivers no more than 150? Can the Commissioner give me an answer on this point?"@en1
