The Agriculture Committee approved an amendment exempting unregistered agricultural machinery operating exclusively on agricultural land or private spaces not accessible to the public from mandatory third-party liability insurance, provided it is covered by a voluntary third-party liability policy
After submitting five amendments to the “Business” Bill in the Senate to prevent the absurd European provision requiring agricultural vehicles to be insured even if they operate only on private land or, worse, are parked in dealerships’ yards awaiting sale, the Agriculture Committee approved one that exempts unregistered agricultural machinery from mandatory third-party liability insurance if it operates exclusively on agricultural land or private spaces not accessible to the public, provided it is covered by a voluntary third-party liability policy.
The amendment therefore exempts agricultural and operating machinery used exclusively on agricultural land, construction sites, private business premises, including those of agricultural and livestock farms, yards, warehouses, and spaces for the exclusive use of manufacturers, dealers, and rental companies from the insurance requirement.
This is because if an agricultural vehicle is not driven on the road, it cannot be treated as a road vehicle. It should be noted that registered vehicles parked in non-public areas are already covered by mandatory company insurance.
