I was wondering what the little white, oval stickers are stuck on the
backs of most cars in Europe. They all have a single black letter in the 
center which (I guess) shows the country of origin of the car. Some of the 
ones I have seen are:

		"D"	Germany
		"GB"	Great Britian
		"G"	Greece
		"F"	France
		"NL"	Netherlands
		"I"	Italy

What is the purpose of these? Are they required by some sort of law in Europe?
