CAUSED BY FOREIGN VEHICLES .
HOWEVER IT IS EVIDENT FROM THE FILE THAT THE PROFESSION OF LOSS-ADJUSTER CONSISTS IN PARTICULAR IN SUPPLYING AN INSURANCE COMPANY WITH EXTENSIVE , ACCURATE AND COMPLETE INFORMATION TO ENABLE IT TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THE ACCIDENT SHOULD GIVE RISE TO PAYMENT OF DAMAGES AND THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES WHILE THE FINAL DECISION AS TO PAYMENT IS ALWAYS TO BE TAKEN BY THE INSURER .
IN COMPARISON TO AN INSURER A LOSS-ADJUSTER PLAYS AN AUXILIARY AND NOT INDISPENSABLE ROLE IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT AN INSURER CAN CARRY OUT THE SAME TASKS THROUGH HIS OWN ORGANIZATION .
IN THE REPLY TO BE GIVEN TO THE QUESTIONS REFERRED THE WORD ' SETTLE ' WITH REGARD TO THE PROFESSION OF LOSS-ADJUSTER MUST BE UNDERSTOOD IN THIS LIMITED SENSE .
6 ( B ) IT ALSO APPEARS FROM THE FILE THAT PURSUANT TO AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT TO WHICH ALL MEMBER STATES BOTH NEW AND OLD ARE PARTIES , WHICH WAS SIGNED AT STRASBOURG ON 20 APRIL 1959 , THE SYSTEM OF COMPULSORY INSURANCE FOR CIVIL LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF MOTOR VEHICLES WAS ADOPTED BY ITALY AND THAT THE UCI HAS TO ASSUME DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY , BOTH BY VIRTUE OF THE NATIONAL LEGISLATION AND BY VIRTUE OF A SYSTEM OF BILATERAL AGREEMENTS , FOR SETTLING THE AMOUNT OF THE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY ACCIDENT CAUSED IN ITALY BY A FOREIGN VEHICLE WHOSE DRIVER POSSESSES A GREEN CARD .
7 UNDER ARTICLE 6 OF ITALIAN LAW NO 990 OF 24 DECEMBER 1969 VEHICLES REGISTERED OR LISTED IN FOREIGN STATES WHICH ARE BEING DRIVEN TEMPORARILY IN THE TERRITORY OF ITALY MUST BE COVERED BY AN INSURANCE POLICY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SAID LAW .
NEVERTHELESS THE OBLIGATION TO BE INSURED IS TO BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED IF THE DRIVER IS IN POSSESSION OF AN INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE ISSUED BY THE APPROPRIATE BODY CONSTITUTED ABROAD KNOWN AS THE ' PAYING BUREAU ' WHICH TESTIFIES TO THE EXISTENCE OF AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR CIVIL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE PROVIDED THAT THE CERTIFICATE IS RECOGNIZED BY THE UCI AUTHORIZED FOR THIS PURPOSE BY DECREE OF THE MINISTER FOR INDUSTRY OF 26 MAY 1971 .
8 THE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN BUREAUX WHICH CONSTITUTE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GREEN CARD SYSTEM PROVIDE THAT WHERE AN ACCIDENT RESULTS IN A CLAIM BEING MADE AGAINST AN INSURED THE BUREAU IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE , KNOWN AS THE ' HANDLING BUREAU ' , WILL HANDLE AND SETTLE SUCH CLAIM AS IF THE POLICY OF INSURANCE HAD BEEN ISSUED BY THEM ' .
IF THE PAYING BUREAU , HAVING SUPPLIED A CERTIFICATE TO A MEMBER WHICH ITSELF ISSUED IT TO AN INSURED , HAS AN ORGANIZATION SITUATED IN THE COUNTRY OF THE HANDLING BUREAU AND ESTABLISHED THERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSACTING MOTOR INSURANCE , THE HANDLING BUREAU WILL , IF SO REQUESTED , LEAVE THE HANDLING AND SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS TO THE MEMBER .
