February 2008
In Europe, concerns are being raised that driving new cars directly from the manufacturer to the dealer and then on to the customer is leading to tax and registration fraud. The European Commission (EC), in response, is proposing that the current method of delivery-by-driving actually be excluded from the European Union (EU) TIR (International Road Transit) system that acts to simplify customs between different member countries inside the EU.

September 2007
