EIOPA publishes findings on Solvency II long-term guarantee

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has published
its technical findings on the long-term guarantee package, a set of
potential measures aimed at facilitating the provision of insurance products
with long-term guarantees under the new Solvency II insurance regulatory
regime.

EIOPA concluded that the final package to be included in the Solvency II framework
should fulfil a number of principles including:

• alignment with the Solvency II framework and the economic balance sheet concept;
• full consistency and comparability in order to enhance the single market;
• efficient linking of all the three pillars (quantitative basis, qualitative requirements and enhanced reporting and disclosure);
• proportionality and simplicity; and
• adequate treatment of transitional issues.
