29In that regard, it should be borne in mind that, as stated in recital 1 of Directive 2009/103, that directive codified Directive 72/166, the Second Directive 84/5, the Third Directive 90/232, Directive 2000/26 and Directive 2005/14. Those directives progressively defined the obligations of Member States with respect to compulsory insurance. They are intended, first, to ensure the free movement of vehicles normally based in the territory of the European Union and of persons travelling in those vehicles and, secondly, to guarantee that the victims of accidents caused by those vehicles receive comparable treatment irrespective of where in the European Union the accident occurred (order of 13 October 2021, Liberty Seguros, C‑375/20, EU:C:2021:861, paragraph 54 and the case-law cited).
