Amendment to regulatory framework (Solvency II) approved
The Directive establishes two types of requirements; the solvency capital requirement (SCR) will be calculated on the basis of a risk profile according to a set formula or internal model approved by the supervisory authority. It takes into account all types of risks, including operational. It must be constantly monitored and recalculated as soon as the risk profile changes significantly. For the minimum capital requirement (MCR) the Directive provides for various types of insurance and reinsurance the absolute lower limit below which sources should not fall in any circumstances.
The Directive aims to improve the supervision of the insurance sector. So-called supervisory authorities colleges will be established for the supervision of groups to ensure better coordination of procedures between the supervisory authority of the parent company and the supervisory authorities of its subsidiaries. Member States should implement this Directive by 31 October 2012.
