The European Commission’s proposal on the EIOPA submission is expected in Q3 2021.
Three broad themes emerged from EIOPA’s review:
- the need for proper recognition of the economic situation, with specific focus on the capital requirement for interest rate risk. For example, EIOPA has proposed an increase in the capital requirement for the interest rate to reflect the steep fall of interest rates experienced in recent years and the existence of negative interest rates.
- the updating of the current regulatory framework should result in a balanced overall impact on insurers. EIOPA has advised that proportionality should be increased across the three pillars of Solvency II, especially with regard to low risk undertakings.
- the requirement for enhanced policyholder protection via macro-prudential tools, recovery and resolution measures and insurance guarantee schemes.

It will enable the easy navigation across different legal acts such as Directives, Delegated and Implementing Regulations, as well as EIOPA Guidelines and IDD questions and answers submitted via EIOPA’s dedicated Q&A process. The aim of this tool is to improve the understanding of the applicable rules.
