The Institute is a forum attracting the interest groups most directly concerned by traffic law, thus giving the conference topics that its members have selected together particular relevance for the development of traffic law in Europe. The swift, often uncoordinated and unpredictable trends in the compensation of consequential or indirect personal injury have resulted in motor vehicle insurers in many coun- tries being faced with serious financial challenges, in particular with respect to the compensation of close relatives. A comparative legal analysis and a clear determination of the underlying principles will be of assistance to all practitioners in this field in identifying and implementing possible developments and finding where their limits lie. Other questions of major practical relevance in claims settlement in Europe are data protection and combating fraud. Only an international approach can produce reliable solutions to these problems. Equally important in practical and nancial terms are issues of private international law in the case of cross-border traffic accidents. The application of the underlying legal bases (Rome II or The Hague conventions on traffic accidents) in practice often results in major difficulties, given that the habitual residence of those involved in the accident is difficult to establish. The intention here will be to identify possible solutions based on an international analysis of the problems. Speakers of the highest calibre will make their presentations on current developments and issues, putting forward solutions and possible improvements, which after discussion among conference participants can, inasmuch as these represent the positions of the Institute in the eld of national and European legislation, justice, administration and practical application, offer signi cant inputs to further development of the law.

IDEC was created in 2003, in Trier
(Germany) by former MEP Willi Rothley, the

the Council of Bureaux, National Insurance
Associations, lawyers and insurers.
The Institute was then transferred in 2009
to Luxembourg. It currently has around 200

National Insurer’s Bureaux, National
Insurance Associations, and Reinsurers.
The Institute is unique in its form and totally
