📋 Tender Overview
Today the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority EIOPA has published a Supervisory Statement on the Solvency II recognition of schemes based on reinsurance with regard to COVID-19 and credit insurance.The Statement provides EIOPAs view on the exceptional supervisory treatment for Solvency II purposes of schemes based on reinsurance implemented by Member States in the extraordinary context of the European Commission Temporary Framework for state aid measures to support the economy in the current COVID-19 outbreak adopted on 19 March 2020.EIOPA has identified significant differences in the way that national schemes in the area of credit insurance are implemented through the Temporary Framework. Therefore to ensure a level playing field and consistent treatment of schemes with the same economic consequences as reinsurance EIOPA outlines in its Statement a number of supervisory recommendations for national competent authorities. Through this Statement EIOPA aims to support supervisory convergence. The Statement should not serve as a basis for the application of the Solvency II rules beyond the scope and validity of the Temporary Framework.
