Events
The European Parliament adopted by 549 votes to 56, with 9 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2009/138/EC as regards proportionality, quality of supervision, reporting, long-term guarantee measures, macro-prudential tools, sustainability risks, group and cross-border supervision.
The European Parliament’s position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure amends the proposal as follows:
Objectives
The amended text clarified the main objectives of the Directive which are to provide incentives for insurers to contribute to the long-term sustainable financing of the economy, to improve risk-sensitivity, to mitigate excessive short-term volatility in insurers’ solvency positions, to enhance the quality, consistency and coordination of insurance supervision across the Union and improve protection of policyholders and beneficiaries, and to better address the potential build-up of systemic risk in the insurance sector.
Granting of authorisations
Prior to the granting of authorisation to an insurance or reinsurance undertaking that is a subsidiary undertaking of an undertaking located in another Member State, or that will be under the control of the same legal or physical person as another insurance or reinsurance undertaking located in another Member State, the supervisory authority of the Member State which grants the authorisation should consult the supervisory authorities of any Member States concerned. The decision to grant the authorisation remains the competence of the supervisory authority of the home Member State in which the undertaking concerned seeks authorisation. However, the results of the joint assessment should be taken into consideration when making that decision.
Smaller and less complex undertakings
To facilitate the proportionate application of the Directive to undertakings which are smaller and less complex than the average undertaking, and to ensure that they are not subject to disproportionately burdensome requirements, it is necessary to provide risk-based criteria that allow for their identification.
It should be possible for undertakings complying with the risk-based criteria to be classified as small and non-complex undertakings in accordance with a simple notification process. Where, within a period of time not exceeding two months after such notification, the supervisory authority does not oppose the classification for duly justified reasons linked to the assessment of the relevant criteria, that undertaking should be deemed a small and non-complex undertaking.
Once classified as a small and non-complex undertaking, in principle, it should automatically benefit from identified proportionality measures on reporting, disclosure, governance, revision of written policies, calculation of technical provisions, own-risk and solvency assessment, and liquidity risk management plans.
Governance system
Members of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies of the insurance or reinsurance undertaking should at all times be of good repute and possess collectively sufficient knowledge, skills and experience to perform their duties. They should have been convicted of any serious offence or repeated offences relating to money laundering or terrorist financing or other offences that would bring into question their good repute, in, at least, the ten years preceding the year in which they are or would be performing their duties in the undertaking.
Insurance and reinsurance undertakings should put in place a policy promoting diversity in the administrative, management or supervisory body, including setting individual quantitative objectives related to gender-balance.
Risk management
Insurance and reinsurance undertakings should explicitly take into account the short-, medium- and long-term horizon when assessing sustainability risks. The supervisory authorities should ensure that undertakings, as part of their risk management, have strategies, policies, processes and systems for the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of sustainability risks over the short, medium and long term.
Member States should ensure that insurance and reinsurance undertakings develop and monitor the implementation of specific plans, quantifiable targets, and processes to monitor and address the financial risks arising in the short, medium, and long term from sustainability factors, including those arising from the process of adjustment and transition trends towards the relevant Member States and Union regulatory objectives and legal acts in relation to sustainability factors.
The targets, processes and actions to address the sustainability risks included in the plans, should be proportionate to the nature, scale, and complexity of the sustainability risks of the business model of the insurance and reinsurance activities.
Policy holder protection
The amended text aims to improve policyholder protection through enhanced cooperation between supervisory authorities, and to continue to prevent insurers from failing, thereby contributing to the stability of the financial sector.
Cooperation and information-sharing between the supervisory authority of the home Member State that granted authorisation to an insurance or reinsurance undertaking and the supervisory authorities of the Member States where that undertaking pursues activities by establishing branches or by providing services, should be strengthened in order to better prevent potential problems affecting consumer rights and to enhance the protection of policyholders across the Union. That enhanced cooperation is particularly important where there are significant cross-border activities, and should increase transparency and the regular mandatory exchange of information between supervisory authorities concerned.
Where the supervisory authority of a host Member State has serious concerns regarding the solvency position of an insurance or reinsurance undertaking which carries out significant cross-border activities in its territory, it should have the power to request the carrying out of a joint on-site inspection together with the supervisory authority of the home Member State, where there is a non-compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement or the Minimum Capital Requirement.
The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)
The amended text entrusts EIOPA with a number of new tasks, in particular as regards the development of various aspects of technical standards, i.e. the secondary legislation that will provide a framework for more precise and harmonised implementation of the Directive in the Member States.
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the report by Markus FERBER (EPP, DE) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2009/138/EC as regards proportionality, quality of supervision, reporting, long-term guarantee measures, macro-prudential tools, sustainability risks, group and cross-border supervision.
The further integration of the single market for insurance is a key objective of this amending Directive. The integration of the EU single market for insurance increases competition and the availability of insurance products across Member States to the benefit of businesses and consumers. Insurance failures in the single market for insurance since the application of Solvency II emphasise the need for more consistency and convergence of supervision across the Union. The supervision of insurance and reinsurance undertakings operating under the freedom to provide services and the freedom of establishment should be further improved without undermining the objective of further integrating the single market for insurance to ensure consistent consumer protection and safeguarding fair competition across the single market.
The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows:
System of governance and risk management
The members of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies of the insurance or reinsurance undertaking should: (i) at all times be of good repute and possess collectively sufficient knowledge, skills and experience to perform their duties; (ii) not have been convicted for offences relating to money laundering or terrorist financing or other offences that would question their good repute.
Member States should require all insurance and reinsurance undertakings to have in place an effective system of governance which provides for sound and prudent management of the business. For environmental, social and governance risks, undertakings should explicitly take into account the short-term, medium-term and long-term horizon when assessing the possible materialisation of those risks.
Supervisory authorities should ensure that undertakings, as part of their risk management, have strategies, policies, processes and systems for the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of environmental, social and governance risks over an appropriate set of time horizons.
Insurance and reinsurance undertakings should develop specific plans, quantifiable targets and processes to monitor and address ESG risks in the short, medium and long term.
Reporting requirements
The amended text stipulated that small and medium-sized undertakings, small and non-complex institutions, captive reinsurance undertakings and low-risk profile undertakings may limit their sustainability reporting to the following information:
- a brief description of the undertaking’s business model and strategy;
- a description of the undertaking’s policies in relation to sustainability matters;
- the principal actual or potential adverse impacts of the undertaking on sustainability matters, and any actions taken to identify, monitor, prevent, mitigate or remediate such actual or potential adverse impacts;
- the principal risks to the undertaking related to sustainability matters and how the undertaking manages those risks.
Protection of policy holders
The amended text seeks to improve the protection of insurance policyholders through enhanced cooperation between supervisory authorities, and continues to prevent insurer failure, thus contributing to stability in the financial sector. Cooperation between the supervisory authority of the home Member State that granted authorisation to an insurance or reinsurance undertaking and the supervisory authorities of the Member States where that undertaking pursues activities by establishing branches or by providing services, should be strengthened in order to better prevent potential problems affecting consumer rights and to enhance the protection of policyholders across the Union. This cooperation should increase transparency and the regular exchange of information between concerned supervisory authorities and include more information coming from the supervisory authority of the home Member State, in particular regarding the outcome of the supervisory review process related to the cross-border activity , the financial condition of the undertaking, and market conditions which might impact the provision of services.
Role of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority
As regards the role of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), new tasks should be assigned to EIOPA:
- preparing a report on the assessment of risks related to biodiversity loss by insurers, along with natural disasters and climate related risks, consistently with the European Green Deal;
- defining consistent guidelines for national rules followed by insurers when assessing their macroprudential risks , i.e. risks impacting an entire sector or the economy as a whole.
Moreover, EIOPA should set up and coordinate a collaboration platform to strengthen the exchange of information and to enhance collaboration between the relevant supervisory authorities of the home Member State and the host Member States where an insurance or reinsurance undertaking carries out, or intends to carry out, significant cross-border activities.
PURPOSE: to amend the existing EU insurance rules (Solvency II Directive) to make them more resilient following the global COVID-19 pandemic.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: Directive 2009/138/EC (Solvency II) sets out prudential rules for the insurance sector and aims to enable a single market for insurance services, while also protecting policyholders. The European Commission has a legal mandate to conduct a comprehensive review of pivotal components of the Solvency II Directive, in particular its risk-based capital requirements and rules on valuation of long-term liabilities, and to draw conclusions from the first five years of experience with the framework. This experience has also shown that the proportionality of Solvency II could be improved and has underlined the absence of specific EU-level provisions to address the build-up of systemic risks, to ensure preparedness for crises or to resolve insurers, where necessary.
Moreover, the framework needs to be consistent with the EU’s political priorities. In particular, the insurance sector should play a role in financing the post COVID-19 economic recovery, in completing the Capital Markets Union (CMU) and in achieving the targets of the European Green Deal.
CONTENT: the proposal aims to amend certain provisions of the Solvency II Directive , in particular those on capital requirements and on valuation of insurance liabilities towards policyholders and on cross-border supervision. It also introduces necessary clarifications and changes to provisions implementing the principle of proportionality. These changes are necessary and proportionate to improve the functioning of the regulatory framework for insurers and to attain the objectives of Solvency II.
More specifically, the proposed comprehensive review of Solvency II seeks to improve regulatory fitness and simplifies the framework as follows:
- excluding more small firms from Solvency II by increasing the size thresholds for the exclusions from the scope of Directive 2009/138/EC;
- making more proportionate rules available automatically to ‘low-risk profile undertakings’ and, after supervisory approval, to other insurers.
Strengthening the contribution of European insurers to help financing recovery
The planned changes aim to encourage insurers to make more long-term capital investments for the benefit of the economy. The Commission proposes releasing up to EUR 90 billion in the short term to help insurers increase their contribution as private investors to Europe's recovery from the crisis.
Climate and environmental risks
It is proposed that insurers should identify any material exposure to climate change risks and, where relevant, to assess the impact of long-term climate change scenarios on their business. Insurers classified as low-risk profile undertakings are exempted from scenario analyses.
Preserving policyholder protection
Consumers (policyholders) should be better protected when buying insurance products in other Member States. Moreover, consumers should be better informed about the financial situation of their insurer. Therefore, cooperation between the supervisory authority of the home Member State that granted authorisation to an insurance or reinsurance undertaking and the supervisory authorities of the Member States where that undertaking pursues activities by establishing branches or by providing services, should be strengthened in order to better prevent potential problems and to enhance the protection of policyholders across the EU.
This cooperation should include more information coming from the supervisory authority of the home Member State, in particular regarding the outcome of the supervisory review process related to the cross-border activity.
Supervision and financial stability
It is important that insurance and reinsurance undertakings maintain a healthy financial position, therefore the whole sector should be better scrutinised to avoid that its stability is put at risk.
Supervisory authorities should have the necessary powers to preserve the solvency position of specific insurance or reinsurance undertakings during exceptional situations such as adverse economic or market events affecting a large part or the totality of the insurance and reinsurance market, in order to protect policyholders and preserve financial stability. Those powers should include the possibility to restrict or suspend distributions to shareholders and other subordinated lenders of a given insurance or reinsurance undertaking before an actual breach of the Solvency Capital Requirement occurs.

Amendment 206 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 2 (2) The Covid-19 pandemic has caused tremendous socio-economic damage and left the EU economy in need of a sustainable, inclusive and fair recovery. Likewise, the economic and social consequences of the Russian war are still unfolding. This has made the work on the Union’s political priorities even more urgent, in particular ensuring that the economy works for people and attaining the objectives of the European Green Deal. The insurance and reinsurance sector can provide private sources of financing to European businesses and can make the economy more resilient by supplying protection against a wide range of risks. With this dual role, the sector has a great potential to contribute to the achievement of the Union’s priorities.

Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) As underlined in the Commission’s Communication of 24 September 2020 ‘A Capital Markets Union for people and businesses’18 , incentivising institutional investors, in particular insurers, to make more long-term investments will be instrumental in supporting re-equitisation in the corporate sector. To facilitate insurers’ contribution to the financing of the economic recovery of the Union, the prudential framework should be adjusted to better take into account the long-term nature of the insurance business. In particular, when calculating the Solvency Capital Requirement under the standard formula, the possibility to use a more favourable standard parameter for equity investments which are held with a long- term perspective should be facilitated, provided that insurance and reinsurance undertakings comply with sound and robust criteria, that preserve policyholder protection and financial stability. Such criteria should aim to ensure that insurance and reinsurance undertakings are able to avoid forced selling of equities intended to be held for the long term, including under stressed market conditions. As insurance and reinsurance undertakings have a wide range of risk-management tools to avoid such forced selling, the criteria should recognise such variety and not require the legal or contractual ring- fencing of long-term investment assets in order to benefit from the more favourable standard parameter for equity investments. __________________ 18 COM/2050/590 final

Amendment 211 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3 a) The need to properly reflect extremely low and negative interest rates in the insurance regulation has arisen due to what has been witnessed in recent years on the markets; this has to be achieved via a recalibration of the Interest Rate Risk sub-module to reflect the existence of a negative yield environment. At the same time, the methodology to be used shall not result in unrealistically large decreases in the liquid part of the curve; this can be avoided by foreseeing an explicit floor to represent a lower bound of interest rates. In line with interest rates dynamics, the floor should not be flat but term-dependent.

Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) The EU sustainable finance framework will play a key role in meeting the targets of the European Green Deal and environmental regulation should be complemented by a sustainable finance framework which channels finance to investments that reduce exposure to these climate and environmental risks. In its Communication of 6 July 2021 on a Strategy for Financing the Transition to a Sustainable Economy22 , the Commission committed to propose amendments to Directive 2009/138/EC to consistently integrate sustainability risks in risk management of insurers by requiring climate change scenario analysis by insurers. As a result, sustainability risks should be reflected in underwriting and investment decisions. __________________ 22 COM(2021)390
Amendment 220 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) According to the International Energy Agency, to reach the carbon neutrality objective by 2050, no new fossil fuel exploration and expansion can take place. This means that fossil fuel exposures represent a higher risk both at micro level, as the value of such assets is set to decrease over time, and at macro level as financing fossil fuel activities jeopardises the objective of maintaining the global rise of temperature below 1.5°C and therefore threatens the financial stability. The higher risks embedded in such exposure should be reflected in the prudential framework, as of now.
Amendment 221 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) Recent geopolitical developments emphasised the necessity of an open strategic autonomy of the European Union. The insurance industry is a key facilitator of economic activity in the Union, and particularly small and medium sized entities, as well as social wellbeing for EU citizens. Safeguarding the competitiveness of the EU insurance market and should be an objective of the review of Directive 2009/138/EC, its transposition, implementation and the supervision in accordance with the regime.
Amendment 222 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 b (new) (5 b) The further integration of the single market for insurance is a key objective of this review of Directive 2009/138/EC. The integration of the EU single market for insurance increases competition and the availability of insurance products across Member States to the benefit of businesses and consumers. Insurance failures in the single market for insurance since the application of Solvency II emphasise the need for more consistency and convergence of supervision across the EU. The supervision of insurance undertakings operating under the freedom to provide services and the freedom of establishment should be further improved without undermining the objective of further integrating the single market for insurance to ensure consistent consumer protection and safeguarding fair competition across the EU single market.

Amendment 226 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 10 (10) Directive 2009/138/EC should be applied in accordance with the proportionality principle. To facilitate the proportionate and homogeneous application of the Directive to undertakings presenting a lower risk profile than the average undertaking, and to ensure that they are not subject to disproportionately burdensome requirements, it is necessary to provide risk-based criteria that allow for their identification.
Amendment 227 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 a (new) (11 a) By way of derogation from the automatic benefit from proportionality measures, where supervisory authorities have concerns in relation to the risk profile of an individual low-risk profile undertaking, the supervisory authorities should have the power to request the undertaking concerned to refrain from using one or several proportionality measures. Such power could be used where they identify that the risk profile of an undertaking changes significantly, as a result of a material deterioration of its solvency position, a deficiency in the functioning of its governance or a material change in the activities of the undertaking.
Amendment 228 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 a (new) (11 a) Member States could make insurance undertakings that are excluded from the scope of Directive 2009/138/EC subject to provisions that are similar or identical to the ones provided for in that Directive.

Proposal for a directive Recital 14 (14) Captive insurance undertakings and captive reinsurance undertakings which only cover risks associated with the industrial or commercial group to which they belong, present a particular risk profile that should be taken into account when defining some requirements, in particular on own-risk and solvency assessment, disclosures and the related empowerments for the Commission to
Amendment 230 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 a (new) (15 a) The lack of diversity in the administrative, management or supervisory bodies could lead to 'groupthink' phenomenon. This phenomenon is at the roots of ineffective decisions and systematic bias. Therefore, diversity should be one of the criteria for the composition of administrative, management or supervisory bodies. To facilitate independent opinions and critical challenges, administrative, management or supervisory bodies should be sufficiently diverse as regards age, gender, geographical provenance and educational and professional background to present a variety of views and experiences. Gender balance is of particular importance to ensure adequate representation of the population. Insurance and reinsurance undertaking shall set target and define measures to increase the representation of the underrepresented gender in the administrative, management or supervisory body. Employee representation in management bodies could also, by adding a key perspective and genuine knowledge of the internal workings of institutions, be seen as a positive way of enhancing diversity. Diversity should also be addressed in institutions' recruitment policy more generally. Such a policy should, for instance, encourage institutions to select candidates from shortlists including both genders.
Amendment 231 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 b (new) (15 b) The effectiveness of a prudential framework relies on the ability of the responsible supervisor to conduct its task in an objective and impartial manner. To avoid that any conflict of interest jeopardises the supervision of insurance and reinsurance undertakings, supervisors shall meet high-level independence criteria. Supervisors must not be allowed to trade any securities issued by a supervised entity and an appropriate cooling-off period shall be defined before a supervisor takes a position in a supervised entity or other related entity.
Amendment 232 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 16 (16) Cooperation between the supervisory authority of the home Member State that granted authorisation to an insurance or reinsurance undertaking and the supervisory authorities of the Member States where that undertaking pursues activities by establishing branches or by providing services, should be strengthened in order to better prevent potential problems and to enhance the protection of policyholders across the Union.

Proposal for a directive Recital 20 a (new) (20 a) Cyber risks remain top global risks for the financial sector and the economy and have increased during the Covid pandemic. Following the adoption of the Regulation 2020/0266 on digital operational resilience for the financial sector [DORA Regulation], cyber risks need to be better taken into account by insurers as part of their operational risks to prevent damages resulting from cyber- attacks. EIOPA should also consider how the insurance market could improve the coverage of cyber risks.

Proposal for a directive Recital 22 a (new) (22 a) Supervisory authorities should have the power to set a capital add-on to address one or more entity, activity-, or behaviour-based sources of systemic risk. Supervisory authorities should have the discretion to make use of this tool, whenever they deem it necessary to mitigate an identified systemic risk or the build-up thereof. They should clearly document the rationale for the add-on, apply it in a proportionate way and only as long as the conditions that lead to the application of the add-on remain in force. Supervisory authorities must also take into account procyclical effects when considering the use of this tool. In order to assist consistent conditions of application and avoid inconsistent use across the Union, the Commission should adopt a delegated act on the procedures for decisions to trigger, set, calculate and remove capital add-on for systemic risk.

Proposal for a directive Recital 26 (26) Directive 2009/138/EC requires insurance and reinsurance undertakings to have, as an integrated part of their business strategy, a periodic own-risk and solvency assessment. Some risks, such as climate change risks, are difficult to quantify or they materialise over a period that is longer than the one used for the calibration of the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR). Those risks can be better taken into account in the own-risk and solvency assessment. Where insurance and reinsurance undertakings
Amendment 247 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 27 (27) Directive 2009/138/EC requires the disclosure, at least, annually, of essential information through the solvency and financial condition report. That report has two main types of addressees: policyholders and beneficiaries on the one hand, and analysts and other market participants on the other hand. In order to address the needs and the expectations of those two different groups, the content of the report should be divided into two parts. The first part, addressed mainly to policyholders and beneficiaries, should contain the key information on business, performance, capital management and risk profile, including in relation to sustainability risks. The second part, addressed to analysts and other market participants, should contain detailed information on the system of governance, including the role of the administrative, management and supervisory body with regard to sustainability risks, specific information

Proposal for a directive Recital 27 a (new) (27 a) EIOPA is required to initiate and coordinate Union-wide assessments of the resilience of financial institutions to adverse market developments according to Article 32 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010. A first IORP stress test was launched in April 2022 with results expected in December 2022. Similarly, national supervisory authorities should perform stress tests on climate but also on environmental and social risks.
Amendment 249 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 28 a (new) (28 a) The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) noted in its holistic impact assessment that certain changes would result in significant increases in certain provisions for insurance undertakings in some Member States, due to different characteristics in government bond and swap markets. Therefore, differences in currencies and national characteristics should be taken into account when determining the starting point for the extrapolation of risk-free interest rates and the appropriate convergence period to the ultimate forward rate.

Proposal for a directive Recital 31 (31) The burden of the auditing requirement does not seem to be justified for low-risk profile undertakings, which are not expected to be relevant for the financial stability of the Union and whose policyholders are not numerous. One of the criteria that low-risk profile undertakings are required to meet is that they be small in size. To alleviate this burden, an exclusion from this requirement should be granted. However, as some Member States have already implemented audit requirements encompassing all undertakings and other parts of the solvency and financial condition report, they should have the possibility to apply auditing to all undertakings and other parts of the solvency and financial condition report.

Amendment 254 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 32 Amendment 255 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 34 (34) The determination of the relevant risk-free interest rate term structure should balance the use of information derived from relevant financial instruments with the ability of insurance and reinsurance undertakings to hedge interest rates derived from financial instruments. In particular, it can happen that smaller insurance and reinsurance undertakings do not have the capacities to hedge interest rate risk with instruments other than bonds, loans or similar assets with fixed cash-flows. The relevant risk-free interest rate term structure should therefore be extrapolated for maturities where the markets for bonds are no longer deep, liquid and transparent. However, the method for the extrapolation should make use of information derived from relevant financial instruments other than bonds, where such information is available from deep, liquid and transparent markets for maturities where the bond markets are no longer deep, liquid and transparent. To ensure certainty and harmonised application while also allowing for timely reaction to changes in market conditions, the Commission should adopt delegated acts to specify how the new extrapolation method should apply. Under market conditions similar to those at the date of entry into force of this Directive, the starting point for the extrapolation of risk-free interest rates, in particular for the euro, should be at a maturity of 20 years. In addition, the extrapolated part of the relevant risk-free interest rate term structure, in particular for the euro, should converge so that for maturities40 years past the starting point of the extrapolation, the extrapolated forward rates do not differ more than seven basis points from the ultimate forward rate.
Amendment 256 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 36 (36) Directive 2009/138/EC provides for a volatility adjustment, which seeks to mitigate the effect of exaggerations of bond spreads and is based on reference portfolios for the relevant currencies of insurance and reinsurance undertakings and, in the case of the euro, on reference portfolios for national insurance markets. The use of a uniform volatility adjustment for entire currencies or countries can lead to benefits in excess of a mitigation of exaggerated bond spreads, in particular where the sensitivity of relevant assets of those undertakings to changes in credit spreads is lower than the sensitivity of the relevant best estimate to changes in interest rates.

Amendment 258 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 36 a (new) (36 a) Where the undertaking invests in debt instruments which have a better credit quality than the debt instruments contained in the representative portfolio for the calculation of the volatility adjustment, the volatility adjustment may overcompensate the loss of own funds caused by widening bond spreads and may lead to undue volatility in the own funds. Alternatively, where the undertaking invests in debt instruments which are underrepresented in the representative portfolio for the calculation of the volatility adjustment, the volatility adjustment may underestimate the loss of own funds caused by widening bond spreads and may lead to undue volatility in the own funds. With the objective to offset the artificial volatility caused by such inappropriate corrections, in these cases undertakings should be able to apply for a modification of the volatility adjustment that takes into account information on the undertaking specific investments in debt instruments.

Proposal for a directive Recital 37 a (new) (37 a) The Review of Directive 2009/138/EC should aim at granting the highest level of protection towards policy holders all over the Union. In the framework of its review, measurement methodologies and tools on illiquidity should be refrained from being used, when their design could have unintended consequences, being detrimental for the policy holders protection, or when they are not based on valid empirical analysis and data.
Amendment 263 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 39 a (new) (39 a) Directive 2009/138/EC requires that the amount of eligible own funds necessary to support the insurance and reinsurance obligations be determined for the purpose of the risk margin calculation and that the Cost-of-Capital rate is equal to the additional rate, above the relevant risk-free interest rate, that an insurance or reinsurance undertaking would incur holding that amount of eligible own funds. Directive 2009/138/EC also requires that the Cost-of-Capital rate be reviewed periodically. For that purpose, the reviews should ensure that the Cost- of-Capital rate remains risk-based and is not set at an overly conservative level. In addition, the projection of future capital requirements for that purpose should take into account the time-dependence of risks in the aggregation of projected future capital requirements. In particular, projected future capital requirements for later years should have a lesser contribution to the risk margin than projected capital requirements of the same level pertaining to earlier years. The determination of the risk margin should take diversification effects at group level into account to reflect the positive impact of effective risk management of insurance and reinsurance groups.

Proposal for a directive Recital 40 (40) For the purposes of calculating their own funds under Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council23 , institutions which belong to financial conglomerates that are subject to Directive 2002/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council24 may be permitted not to deduct their significant investments in insurance or reinsurance undertakings, provided that certain criteria are met. There is a need to ensure that prudential rules applicable to insurance or reinsurance undertakings and credit institutions allow for an appropriate level- playing field between banking-led and insurance-led financial groups. Therefore, insurance or reinsurance undertakings should also be permitted not to deduct from their eligible own funds participations in credit and financial institutions, subject to similar conditions and to apply a capital requirement factor based on the market risk module, calculated in accordance with Directive 2009/138/EC, to the participations in credit and financial institutions. In particular, either group supervision in accordance with Directive 2009/138/EC or supplementary supervision in accordance with Directive 2002/87/EC should apply to a group encompassing both the insurance or reinsurance undertaking and the related institution. In addition, the institution should be an equity investment of strategic nature for the insurance or reinsurance undertaking and supervisory authorities should be satisfied as to the level of integrated management, risk management and internal controls regarding the entities in the scope of group supervision or supplementary supervision. __________________ 23 Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the

Proposal for a directive Recital 41 (41) The existing limits imposed on the level of the symmetric adjustment restrict the ability of this adjustment to mitigate potential pro-cyclical effects of the financial system and to avoid a situation in which insurance and reinsurance undertakings are unduly forced to raise additional capital or sell their investments as a result of unsustained adverse movements in financial markets, such as the ones triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the symmetric adjustment should be amended so that it allows for larger changes to the standard equity capital charge and further mitigates the impact of sharp increases or decreases

Proposal for a directive Recital 54 (54) Supervisory authorities should have the necessary powers to preserve the solvency position of specific insurance or reinsurance undertakings during exceptional situations such as adverse economic or market events affecting a large part or the totality of the insurance and reinsurance market, in order to protect policyholders and preserve financial stability. Those powers should include the possibility to restrict or suspend distributions to shareholders and other subordinated lenders of a given insurance or reinsurance undertaking before an actual breach of the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) occurs. Those powers should be applied on a case-by-case basis, respect common risk-based criteria and not undermine the functioning of the internal market.
Amendment 277 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 56 a (new) (56 a) Despite the limited number of failures in the EU internal market for insurance, EIOPA found that particular unsustainable business models operating regulatory arbitrage caused consumer detriment. The supervisory authority granting authorisation to an insurance or reinsurance undertaking should particularly assess if the business model and the scheme of planned activity might pose particular risks to consumers in a specific Member State or across the EU internal market for insurance. Where the business plan of an insurance undertaking, which is seeking authorisation, includes activities carried out under the freedom to provide services or the freedom of establishment, the supervisory authority should notify all concerned supervisory authorities about the outcome of its assessment. Where the activities of an insurance undertaking carried out under the freedom to provide services or the freedom of establishment are considered to present a specific risk to consumers or the functioning of the internal market for insurance, these activities should be considered “significant cross-border activity”. A reassessment should be carried out where the insurance undertaking notifies the supervisory authority, granting the authorisation, that it intends to carry out activities in another Member State or where the risk profile of the undertaking changes materially .

Proposal for a directive Recital 61 Amendment 282 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 63 (63) Group supervisors may decide to exclude an undertaking from group supervision, in particular when such an undertaking is deemed of negligible interest with respect to the objectives of group supervision. EIOPA has noted diverging interpretations on the criterion of negligible interest, and has identified that, in some cases, such exclusions result in complete waivers of group supervision or in supervision at the level of an intermediate parent company. It is therefore necessary to clarify that such cases should only occur in very exceptional circumstances and that group supervisors should consult EIOPA before making such decisions. Criteria should also be introduced so that there is more clarity as to what should be deemed as negligible interest with respect to the objectives of group supervision. EIOPA shall issue guidelines to further specify such exceptional circumstances and the cases where an exclusion may be justified. The group supervisor shall reassess at least annually whether its decision remains appropriate.
Amendment 283 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 63 a (new) (63 a) Before excluding the ultimate parent undertaking from group supervision, the group supervisor should consult EIOPA, and where applicable, other supervisory authorities concerned, and should assess the impact of exercising group supervision at the level of an intermediate participating undertaking on the solvency position of the group. In this assessment on the features of the group, the group supervisor should consider the qualitative and quantitative risks, including those stemming from intragroup transactions, and the risks that the ultimate parent undertaking poses or may pose to the whole group. Any supervisory decision to exclude the top holding from scope of group supervision and to apply the group supervision at an intermediate level should carefully consider any potential impact on the solvency position of the group and fully overview of the risks the group faces or may face.

Therefore, it should be clearly specified which undertakings may be included in the group solvency calculation through Method 2. Such method should only apply to insurance and reinsurance undertakings, third-country insurance and reinsurance undertakings, undertakings belonging to other financial sectors, mixed financial holding companies, insurance holding companies, and other parent undertakings the main business of which is to acquire and hold participations in subsidiary undertakings, where those subsidiary undertakings are exclusively or mainly insurance or reinsurance undertakings, or third-country insurance or reinsurance undertakings.

Therefore, a sub-set of equity investments may be treated as long term equity investments provided that this equity is not issued by companies which have the parent company, subsidiaries or branches in a third country, which is mentioned in Annex I or Annex II to the Council conclusions of 2020 on the revised EU list on non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes, or in the Delegated Regulation in relation to third countries which have strategic deficiencies in their AML/CFT regimes that pose significant threats to the financial system of the Union ('high-risk third countries'), stemming from Article 9 of Directive (EU) 2015/849.

While there is not sufficient evidence at this stage on risk differentials between environmentally or socially harmful and other investments, such evidence may become available over the next years. In order to ensure an appropriate assessment of the relevant evidence, EIOPA should monitor and report by June 2023 on the evidence on the risk profile of environmentally or socially harmful investments. The report should assess whether a dedicated prudential treatment of exposures related to assets or insurance liabilities associated substantially with environmental or social objectives would be justified. Where appropriate, EIOPA’s report should advise on changes to Directive 2009/138/EC and to the delegated and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Directive. EIOPA may also inquire whether it would be appropriate that certain environmental risks, other than climate change, including biodiversity loss-related, should be taken into account and how. For instance, if evidence so suggests, EIOPA could analyse the need for extending scenario analyses as introduced by this Directive in the context of climate change-related risks to other environmental risks. Prior to the publication of such a report, undertakings’ assessment of market risk should already reflect sustainability risks stemming from climate change. The assessment should include the impact of such risk on the undertaking, its customers and on the assets the undertaking has invested in. To that end, undertakings should consider any exposure to fossil fuel sectors as an exposure to the most volatile asset of each category.
