EIOPA reports on the achievements of the supervisory colleges
12 May 2016
The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority published the year-end report 2015 on Functioning of Colleges of Supervisors and Accomplishments of Action Plan.
EIOPA has a leading role in ensuring the consistent and coherent functioning of colleges of supervisors. Through its membership in the colleges EIOPA sets the yearly targets, organises group supervisors' and other training days related to group supervision, and collects and shares practical examples and solutions in colleges.
Based on its task to continuously monitor and assess achievements of the colleges EIOPA observes the progress in the following areas:
-
In 2015, coordination arrangements for 91 colleges were agreed and signed by supervisors from the EEA member states.
-
In 10 cases colleges assessed and approved the application of an internal model for the calculation of group and solo Solvency Capital Requirements as per the Solvency II Directive.
-
In the majority of the colleges, discussions took place on how the Solvency II preparatory guidelines were implemented by the insurance groups and which gaps still needed to be closed. However, in not all cases was the feedback about these discussions agreed or provided to the groups. Improving the transparency of the college work towards the groups is one of the priorities of EIOPA's Action Plan 2016 for colleges.
