The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) published a Call for Evidence regarding the treatment of infrastructure corporates under Solvency II.
This Call for Evidence follows the Call for Advice from the EC, where EIOPA was asked to "further consider the evidence regarding the treatment of infrastructure corporates".
The EC based its request on EIOPA's Advice on infrastructure investments, which was submitted on 29 September 2015. In that Advice EIOPA proposed a more granular treatment of debt and equity investments in qualifying infrastructure projects.
EIOPA invites market participants and (re)insurance stakeholders to provide information and data on the nature of infrastructure corporates and their risk profile.
The deadline for responding to the Call for Evidence is 10 December 2015. Based on the feedback received, EIOPA will prepare draft advice to the European Commission. Depending on the nature of those proposals EIOPA may issue a consultation paper in the first half of 2016.
