EIOPA: Revised Single Programming Document 2017-2019 (AWP 2018)

EIOPA publisheD its updated work programme for 2018, highlighting and specifying the activities and tasks of the Authority for the coming year, within the framework of a multiannual work programme 2017-2019.

EIOPA’s work is designed and developed to provide value to Europe and its citizens.  The way to do so is to act as a modern, competent and professional organisation, with sound and effective governance arrangements, efficient processes and a positive reputation. To achieve its goal EIOPA is following the principles of independence, transparency and accountability.

To develop EIOPA further as a credible supervisory Authority within the European System of Financial Supervision EIOPA is following three main strategic priorities:

• enhancing supervisory convergence,
• reinforcing preventive consumer protection and,
• preserving financial stability.

The Single Programming Document (SPD) consists of two parts. The first part sets up the direction of the development of EIOPA and the relevant business strategic objectives and actions for the period 2017 - 2019. The second part outlines the tasks EIOPA is mandated to, and will perform, in the course of the specific year in which the SPD applies (2017, 2018 and then 2019).

The current document combines the aim of providing clear information to stakeholders on EIOPA‘s goal and mandate, including a transparent description of deliverables, together with concrete business objectives for the teams and individuals working at EIOPA, key for internal management. 

This SPD is the reflection of efficient internal governance, planning and coordination followed within EIOPA in the past years. All the actions and deliverables indicated have undergone a solid prioritisation assessment and were carefully checked against required and available financial and human resources, expertise and skills. Each work stream and project indicated in the SPD is monitored by robust performance indicators supported by clear internal control standards. In order to ensure business continuity and high-quality deliverables, dedicated focus is given to associated risks and how they are managed within EIOPA. 

In line with EIOPA’s principles of transparency and accountability, the SPD presents EIOPA’s revenues, expenditures, staffing and organisational structure in a detailed and comprehensive manner. Full transparency, efficiency and accountability are building blocks for managing public resources, as they belong to all European citizens.
