Ask any founder in Lithuania: building a successful company in a fragmented Europe is playing on hard mode. It's time for a change, and that change is EU–INC. We're throwing our full support behind the initiative for a 28th regime/EU–INC. Europe does not have the luxury of pausing for the fears of those who haven't done enough for local startups.

Big news – the European Commission approved a plan for EU countries to share data on vehicle mileage and other technical details. This is a huge step in the fight against car fraud, but it may not go far enough to make a real difference for consumers. Key proposed changes include: 📍 Making digital vehicle registration certificates the default, while still allowing paper copies when needed. 📍 Requiring Member States to share vehicle register data with each other to better detect and prevent abuse across borders. 📍 In practice, this would improve cooperation between countries on vehicle data. However, access would remain limited to national institutions. Companies with years of experience in vehicle data analysis – and consumers themselves – would still not be able to access this information directly. As Miglė Savickaitė, Head of Strategic Communication at carVertical, notes: “Used-car buyers won’t be able to access this data directly. They would have to request it from owners, who can simply refuse – limiting transparency on vehicle wear, value, and road safety.” The EU roadworthiness package was last significantly updated in 2014. With such a major revision now on the table, there is an opportunity not just for theoretical changes, but for a full modernization that truly strengthens transparency in the used car market and protects buyers. carVertical remains open to dialogue and has a number of proposals to strengthen the framework and make it more effective in tackling fraud. But will this be heard by decision-makers?

Last week, we had the privilege of attending the mo:re conference by mobile.de – one of the standout automotive events in Europe. 🇩🇪 The conference was exceptionally well organized and focused on future trends, innovations, and technologies that are actually reshaping the automotive market. A must-visit for any growth-driven dealer. We also had the chance to get inspired by influential industry leaders, build valuable connections, and share our message of transparency through our German brand ambassador, Omid. He delivered a masterclass keynote, highlighting the key obstacles holding dealerships back and showing how carVertical insights help dealers anticipate customer needs, build trust, and boost sales. It was inspiring to see how strongly the message resonated with the audience. Thanks to all who participated and shout-out to our B2B crew – Robertas Boravskis, Vytautas Nemura, Daniel Artisiuk, Rokas Markevičius – our marketing guys Mantas Ribelis and Marius Semoška, and our Affiliate team member Ieva Pauliukoniene for building valuable connections and representing our brand. We look forward to raising car trading standards together with such inspirational partners. 🫡
