According to the national association of Romanian insurers UNSAR and insurance brokers’ association UNSICAR, the draft law is breaking the principle of freedom of contract and the provisions of the Civil Code, as it imposes the evaluation of car damages and reparations only by the technical experts who are members of the Body of Auto Technical Experts and Evaluators in Romania (CEETAR).
According to the draft law, auto technical experts and evaluators should evaluate all damaged vehicles, in order to set up technical solutions for the reparation and payment of damages, according to the mandatory (RCA) and voluntary (CASCO) car insurance policies.
The draft law was registered at the Senate for public debate on April 10, while on May 9, it was approved by the Legislative Council.
