Amendment 128 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 24 a (new)
(24a) It is noted that profitability has in some instances been used as a risk diminishing indicator for risk based premiums. This does not take account of the business model of mutuals which do not seek to be profit maximising. Further, motivation to drive up profit can create a perverse incentive towards adoption of riskier strategies. A holistic view of soundness of business model should be taken into account.
