10/03/2025 (Agence Europe) – The European Insurance and Reinsurance Federation, Insurance Europe, supports the European Commission’s efforts to rapidly establish a savings and investment union (SIU). In a position paper published on Thursday 6 March, insurers recommend finalising the review of the Solvency II Directive (see EUROPE 13460/12), reviewing capital requirements for securitisations, reducing regulatory burdens, improving financial education and ensuring that the retail investment legislative package contributes to the EUI’s objectives. This will be the subject of inter-institutional negotiations (trilogue) on Tuesday 18 March. In terms of supervision, Insurance Europe supports “continued national oversight and efforts by national supervisory authorities and EIOPA to use existing tools to continue convergence efforts”.
