Default Third party liability car insurance cover

Hi! I am trying to clarify the situation regarding the cover my current car third party fire & theft insurance provides for third party liability in Europe/Italy. My policy states:

Cover for using the car in Europe
This policy provides the compulsory Third Party Liability insurance required to use this car in the European Union. You do not even need a 'Green Card', your
Certificate of Motor Insurance is enough proof of insurance within the EU. By law as a result of EC and EU directives, we must extend this cover to many other countries. Before travelling outside the EU you are advised to contact us to make sure that you are covered.

Does this mean that I am covered for Third Party liability for up to the full term of the policy (one year), subject to meeting all the other terms of the policy (vehicle roadworthy, etc.)? I have tried to ask my insurers this question, but their answer is that I am only covered for 60 days at my normal policy level (fire & theft) and that I can only take the car out of the UK for over 60 days with their agreement (and subject to paying an additional premium!). I am not concerned about anything other than being covered for third party claims outside the UK, and I think that the above section of my policy confirms that I am covered for this without any time limits. Do you agree?

TIA!
