The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) analysed 176 applications of candidates of 23 different nationalities. EIOPA ensured the adequate consumer representation and appropriate gender balance within its stakeholder groups. Furthermore, EIOPA increased the number of independent academics in both groups from five (the required minimum) to six members.
The newly appointed IRSG represents members of 15 different nationalities, where 23% (7 members) stand for consumers and users of (re)insurance services. The new OPSG consists of members of 16 different nationalities, where employees and beneficiaries are represented by 23% (7 members). 26% (8 members) in both groups are females.
11 (IRSG) and 9 (OPSG) members have been re-appointed, preserving core knowledge and intelligence and guaranteeing continuity.
Members of the EIOPA Stakeholder Groups are appointed for 2.5 years with the possibility of one re-election, i.e. in total a maximum of five years' appointment per member.
The first meetings of the Stakeholder Groups in the new composition will take place on 26 April 2016 (IRSG) and on 28 April 2016 (OPSG).
