EIOPA launches public consultation on the add-on Quantitative Financial Stability Reporting Templates

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) invites
market participants and (re)insurance stakeholders to provide their
feedback on the add-on quantitative financial stability (FS) reporting
templates, which form part of the public consultation on Supervisory
Reporting & Public Disclosure for Solvency II.
The add-on templates are intended to provide a fair reflection of the
financial stability in the insurance sector.
Monitoring of the insurance market for the purpose of financial stability
is one of EIOPA's tasks according to Article 8 (1) of the EIOPA
Regulation. This task includes an assessment of the solvency of insurance
undertakings, which will facilitate an analysis of the overall resilience
of the insurance sector (or sub-sectors) and its ability to withstand
shocks.
The Financial Stability add-on templates reflect the additional reporting
requirements necessary for financial stability purposes. An FS-related
log-file containing explanatory materials is published on the website
together with the templates.
The consultation will end on Friday, 20 February, 2012 at 18.00 HRS CET.
Comments should be submitted via email to cp-011@eiopa.europa.eu
(Link: cp-011@eiopa.europa.eu ). Please note that comments
submitted after the deadline or not submitted on the provided templates
cannot be processed.

EIOPA calls for paradigm shift in consumer protection

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) is
calling today for a paradigm shift in the area of Consumer Protection.
EIOPA's Chairman, Gabriel Bernardino, said at the Authority's first
Consumer Strategy Day in Frankfurt today: "We need to question the
strategy and policy tools that we traditionally use to address information
asymmetries, conflict of interest and market inefficiencies to protect the
rights of policyholders, pension scheme members and beneficiaries."
Participants of the Consumer Strategy Day exchanged views at the three
panel discussions addressing issues such as "fostering protection of
policyholders and pension fund beneficiaries", "tackling new or
innovative financial activities", and "anti-discrimination and
assessment of risk". The event was attended by around 130
representatives of consumer associations, insurance companies as well as
supervisory authorities.
Please read the press release from EIOPA's first Consumer Strategy Day.

EIOPA launches consultation on Guidelines on Complaints-Handling by Insurance Undertakings

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) launched
today a public consultation on proposed Guidelines on Complaints-Handling
by Insurance Undertakings. The draft Guidelines, which are addressed to
competent supervisory authorities, are being issued to:

(i) clarify the expectations of supervisors regarding the effectiveness of
insurance undertakings' internal control systems for
complaints-handling, including lessons learned from complaints received;
and

(ii) provide guidance on adequate treatment of complaints including
providing necessary information to consumers.

EIOPA welcomes comments from all interested parties on the draft
Guidelines. Accompanying the Guidelines, a draft Report setting out Best
Practices for Complaints-Handling by Insurance Undertakings has also been
published. Both the draft Guidelines and Best Practices Report can be
accessed via our website.

These Guidelines and Best Practices Report aim to contribute to the
enhancement of consumer protection.

EIOPA's Chairman, Gabriel Bernardino commented: "Ensuring appropriate
procedures are in place within insurance undertakings for handling
complaints is of fundamental importance in enhancing customer protection,
one of EIOPA's core objectives. By issuing these draft Guidelines (which
are the first for EIOPA in this area), EIOPA aims to not only enhance
consumer protection but also to strengthen regulatory convergence bearing
in mind the forthcoming revision of the Insurance Mediation Directive and
its potential extension to direct writers. These Guidelines are just part
of what EIOPA is doing to take a leading role in the area of consumer
protection"

This consultation will start on 9 November 2011 and end on 31 January 2012
at 12.00 HRS CET. Comments should be submitted via email to

EIOPA launches consultation on Good Practices for Disclosure and Selling of Variable Annuities

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)
published its "Draft Report on Good Practices for Disclosure and Selling
of Variable Annuities" today and launched a public consultation.

This report summarises the findings of EIOPA's Committee on Consumer
Protection and Financial Innovation with the goal to establish good
disclosure and selling practices for variable annuities.

Today, EIOPA invites market participants and consumers to participate in a
consultation on consumer-related issues. EIOPA welcomes comments from all
interested parties on the "Draft Report on Good Practices for Disclosure
and Selling of Variable Annuities". Currently, EIOPA is seeking input
on two sets of questions relating to disclosures and selling practices.
These questions and the Draft Report can be accessed via our web site.

EIOPA's chairman Gabriel Bernardino commented: "This is EIOPA's first
consultation in the area of consumer protection and of great significance
to us. First of all, it links our work in consumer protection with
financial innovation. Secondly, even though the analysis that underlies
the report has a product specific focus, the result of this consultation
will certainly shape our view on how to deal with disclosures and selling
arrangements for insurance contracts with an investment element."

This consultation will start on Thursday 27 October, 2011 and end on 3
January 2012 at 18.00 HRS CET. Comments should be submitted via email to
CP-007@eiopa.europa.eu (Link: CP-007@eiopa.europa.eu ). Please

EIOPA publishes final reports on the equivalence assessment of the Bermudan, Japanese and Swiss supervisory systems

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)
published today three equivalence reports.

In June 2010, the European Commission asked CEIOPS, EIOPA's preceding
organisation, to provide advice on whether the supervisory regimes of
Bermuda, Japan and Switzerland meet criteria of equivalence. The goal of
this equivalence assessment is to ensure that the third country regulatory
and supervisory regimes provide a similar level of policyholder /
beneficiary protection as the one provided under the Solvency II
Directive.

In addition to EIOPA's assessment the reports include the results of the
official consultation that was conducted in August and September 2011.
Market participants and interested parties provided experience and
information on relevant aspects of the supervisory practices and insurance
regulatory regimes in the three countries respectively.

EIOPA's Chairman, Gabriel Bernardino, highlights: "Third country
equivalence assessments are an important instrument towards achieving
global supervisory convergence in insurance. The equivalence assessment of
other supervisory systems is an enormous undertaking. As such, this could
only be completed successfully due to the commitment of the Bermudan,
Japanese and Swiss authorities to participate in this exercise and thanks
to their cooperation, dedication and transparency. EIOPA is committed to
continue its work to ensure that the third country regulatory and
supervisory regimes provide a similar level of policyholder protection as
the one provided under the Solvency II Directive."

EIOPA publishes three reports on occupational pensions

Frankfurt, 26 July, 2011 – The European Insurance and Occupational

its work on occupational pensions.
A new Report on Market Developments 2011 provides a general overview on the
developments in cross-border arrangements of Institutions for Occupational

market developments and shows the growth in the number of cross-border
IORPs, as formally notified to Member States in a twelve month period from
June 2010 until June 2011.

Two further reports - a Report on Risks Related to Defined Contribution
Pension Plan Members and a Report on Risk Mitigation Mechanisms for
Defined Contribution Related Risks, deal with risks faced by members of
defined contribution schemes. The first report identifies these risks and
the second one provides an analysis of the various risk mitigating
mechanisms in use for a selection of risks.
