Revised Guidelines on Information Exchange Within Supervisory Colleges for Cross-Border Insurance Groups
Summary
EIOPA has revised its 2015 Guidelines on the exchange of information within supervisory colleges for cross-border insurance groups in the EEA. The revised Guidelines streamline annexes, update legal references to reflect current regulatory developments, and introduce new provisions on sharing group Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) reports within colleges to enhance supervisors' collective understanding of group risks. National Competent Authorities involved in cross-border insurance group supervision should update their internal procedures to align with the revised framework.
“The revised Guidelines aim to strengthen supervisory cooperation by establishing a consistent and systematic approach to the exchange of information among National Competent Authorities (NCAs) that are involved in the supervision of cross-border insurance groups in the European Economic Area (EEA).”
What changed
EIOPA has amended its 2015 framework on supervisory information exchange within colleges by streamlining annexes, updating legal references to current regulatory standards, and introducing new provisions requiring the sharing of group ORSA reports among college members. The revised guidelines maintain existing confidentiality safeguards while improving the consistency of information flows between National Competent Authorities.
National Competent Authorities supervising cross-border insurance groups in the EEA should review and align their internal procedures with the revised framework. Insurance groups operating across borders may experience more structured and consistent supervisory information requests from multiple NCAs through the college mechanism.
