    Have you seen that his cert even allows him to DOC in this country?

    It is to ensure certain basic standards. Anything that goes above and beyond those standards are purely discretionary and can have territorial limits.

    Yep, but I'd have thought that the basic standard needed to ensure free movement within the EU is that a car/driver that is legal in one EU country is automatically legal in any other EU country.

    If the DOC cover can be limited then you get the situation that I'm legal in the UK but become illegal when I cross the boarder into France. That can't be right under EU law.
