Gabriel Bernardino has been reconfirmed for a second term of five years as Chairman of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA). Interviewed by The European Actuary (April 2016 issue) he identified supervisory convergence as the main challenge facing the industry.
In the insurance area we’re starting the implementation of Solvency II in a consistent way. Firstly, we want that the framework is applied in all the European member states. Secondly, we want to achieve a level playing field and avoid regulatory and supervisory arbitrage. And finally, we want to have a similar level of protection for consumers in member states and a high level of quality in the conduct of supervision.
