Give it a few years and I'm sure all trailers will be registered in their own right in all EU states (many are already). The UK is slowly heading that way!

Only the smallest trailers might get away with it. I think in France its a half tonne gross limit as a friend has exported an ex-british army Sankey 750kg payload trailer for his landy and is downplateing it to 500kg Gross, which involved removing the body so its light enough to be able to have a useful payload - doesn't sound worth the effort but aparently it is as its too complex to do properly.

After seeing them,I quite fancy one myself!minus the tent though.The only thing is that once we would start to think about all the extra bits(&bikes)we could carry we would end up getting totally carried away and end up with a trailer the size of t3 or bigger!!!!

Yep it will come
France is no reg on any trailer below 500kg gross.. but you see loads of twin axle trailers no brakes, 900kg axles... that are "500 kg".. payload of 160 ish... an open invitation to overload I reckon... and I know thats what they do...
over 500 - 750 must have registration insurance and " 2 yearly MOT" doesnt need brakes (as long as towing vehicle can legaly pull 750 unbraked... ) 750 + registration, MOT, ins, brakes...

Stripping a sankey to get any kind of payload legaly... still must be useless...
