Audi will produce CoCs though...
could Ducati's reluctance in this case be to do with model differences between US and Euro markets?
according to
http://www.eurococ.eu/en/certificate_of_conformity the vehicle's first registartion would have to be in the EU as far as I can see.
"Vehicles without the EU specification (e.g. vehicle manufactured for the U.S. or Japanese market) and older vehicles that have not been given the type approval of the EC yet, do not have an existing COC. Similarly, it is not possible to issue a COC for converted vehicles."
