Eesti Liikluskindlustuse Fond (LKF) sõlmib piirikindlustuse lepinguid. LKF-i koostööpartner lepingute sõlmimisel on Maksu- ja Tolliamet. Piirikindlustuse leping on liikluskindlustuse leping, mis sõlmitakse kolmanda riigi sõiduki suhtes, kui seda kasutatakse Euroopa Majanduspiirkonna lepinguriigis (liikluskindlustuse seaduse § 4 punkt 5). Praegu kehtib umbes 100 LKF-iga sõlmitud Venemaal registreeritud sõiduki suhtes sõlmitud piirikindlustuse lepingut. Vaatamata sellele, et Venemaal registreeritud sõidukid enam üldjuhul Eestisse siseneda ei saa, on siin kasutusel hulk selliseid sõidukeid ning jätkuvalt sõlmitakse nende suhtes piirikindlustuse lepinguid. Ilma kindlustuseta neid sõidukeid kasutada ei tohi. Rohelise Kaardi Büroode Nõukogu (COB) koordineerib üle Euroopa liikluskindlustuse süsteemi toimimist, sh korraldab piirikindlustuse pakkumise reegleid. COB on saatnud ringkirja, milles märgib, et Venemaa sõiduki suhtes piirikindlustuse lepingu sõlmimine võib olla üle-Euroopaliste sanktsioonidega vastuolus, vt lisatud failis olev ringkiri. Sellega seoses palume esimesel võimalusel, kuid hiljemalt 30. novembriks 2023 teie hinnangut, kas Venemaal registreeritud sõiduki suhtes piirikindlustuse lepingu sõlmimine on kehtivatest sanktsioonidest tulenevalt lubatud või mitte. Juhul, kui Venemaal registreeritud sõiduki suhtes ei tohi piirikindlustuse lepingut sõlmida, siis tuleb arvestada, et tekib hulk Venemaal registreeritud Eestis asuvaid sõidukeid enam kasutada ei tohi, sest nende liikluskindlustus on lõppenud ning uut sõlmida ei saa. Sellest tulenevalt eeldame, et politsei tõhustab sel juhul nende sõidukite liikluskindlustuse kehtivuse kontrolli. Kui Venemaal registreeritud sõiduki suhtes ei tohi piirikindlustuse lepingut sõlmida, siis palume teilt soovitusi, kuidas sellises olukorras klientidele selgitusi anda ja muud asjakohast teavet. Meie jaoks on selline olukord uus ning kogemust ei ole. Infoks täpsustame, et liiklusõnnetuses kannatanud on kaitstud. Kui Venemaal registreeritud liikluskindlustuseta sõidukiga põhjustatakse liikluskindlustuse juhtum, siis kannatanule hüvitab kahju LKF. LKF-il on kahju põhjustaja suhtes tagasinõudeõigus, kuid selle realiseerimine praktikas on tihti võimatu.

Pursuant to this Article, it is prohibited to purchase, import, or transfer directly or indirectly, goods as listed in Annex XXI to the Regulation, if they originate from Russia or are exported from Russia. This includes motor vehicles falling under the Combined Nomenclature (CN) Code 8703, as updated. The prohibition covers both the import of Russian vehicles as well as the entry of the latter in EU territory for a limited period. The duration of their possible stay in the Union and respectively the customs procedures under which they will be placed (e.g. release for free circulation or temporary admission) is not relevant. This conclusion is backed by the guidance provided by the European Commission on 2 October 2023 where the question on whether Russian nationals can temporarily bring personal goods and vehicles listed in Annex XXI, e.g. for touristic travels, is answered as follows: “As per the case law of the European Court of Justice, sanctions need to be interpreted broadly, among other reasons in order to ensure effectiveness of the adopted prohibitions and avoid circumvention. It is for the national competent authorities to assess each situation and to implement the prohibitions accordingly.” The European Commission also notes that motor vehicles are a category of goods which are prone to circumvention, emphasising again the need for broad interpretation and increased due diligence for competent authorities. The prohibition extends to both private and commercial vehicles that originate from Russia and fall under the CN Code related to Annex XXI. This means that the prohibition also covers vehicles which cross the border commercially for the purpose of transport of non-sanctioned goods and/or individuals. This prohibition does not directly limit the right of entry of Russian nationals into the Union territory. However, when assessing right of entry, other prohibitions such as the travel ban and the list of targeted entities need to be taken into account by the border authorities. By extension to the prohibition to EU operators to provide insurance, brokering services or other financing or financial assistance for the transport of goods or products listed in Annex XXI to third countries, the provision of insurance for the transport of the listed vehicles can also be interpreted as being subject to the ban. Therefore, it is feasible to conclude that the provision of frontier insurance for vehicles registered in Russia should be considered as a potential breach of sanctions. Given that frontier insurance issued in an EEA country or Switzerland has to cover all the abovementioned territories, COB recommends to all EEA Bureau, to instruct their member insurers, when applicable, to no longer issue frontier insurance for Russian registered vehicles. With regard to Russian registered vehicles which are in circulation in the EEA before the entry into force of the prohibition, the frontier insurance of which may be expired or on the verge of expiry, COB recommends to exercise an augmented due diligence in assessing whether frontier insurance can still be provided for such vehicles. COB however cannot establish with certainty the right course of action to be taken by the authorities of each member country. COB Members are recommended to engage with their national authorities to properly comprehend and implement the necessary due diligence in complying with this new ban, as well as with the transitory period for Russian vehicles already in circulation in their territory. In order to provide some further insight but also in order to engage in an open discussion with the concerned members, you are kindly invited to partake to an open online workshop which will be held on: • Monday, 13 November 2023 at 11:00 – 12:30. We trust the above is useful. Yours sincerely, Secretariat Council of Bureaux AISBL Avenue Louise 166 (1st floor), BE-1050 Brussels Secretariat Landline +32 (0)2 627 09 20 www.cobx.org - [email protected] P R O T E C T I N G C R O S S B O R D E R R O A D T R AF F I C V I C T I M S
