In accordance with Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/103/EC relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, and the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability, the amounts laid down in euro in Article 9(1) were reviewed in 2015 in order to take account of changes in the European index of consumer prices comprising all Member States, as published by Eurostat.
