EIOPA publishes Methodology Report for Collecting, Analysing and Reporting on Consumer Trends

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has
today published its report on the Methodology for Collecting, Analysing
and Reporting on Consumer Trends.

This enhanced methodology will be used by EIOPA to produce its annual
Consumer Trends report, as part of its tasks under Article 9(1)(a) of
EIOPA Regulation, to take a leading role in promoting transparency,
simplicity and fairness in the market for consumers.

This report describes the methodology for collecting, analysing and
reporting on consumer trends.

EIOPA's goals in this area are threefold:
to establish a framework for the collection of consumer trends information
from National Supervisory Authorities (NSAs) including:
exploring possible data sources;
checking the availability of the data from these sources; and
considering the level of comparability of the available data;to develop a
methodology to collect and analyse the consumer trends information; andto
establish a process for producing a report on the consumer trends
identified from the information gathered and analysis conducted.

EIOPA seeks to collect both quantitative and qualitative data where it may
be a useful indicator of a consumer trend and where a significant number
of Member States have the data available.

The Report on the Methodology for Collecting, Analysing and Reporting on
Consumer Trends can be accessed via the following link:
