EIOPA consults on draft RTS adapting the base euro amounts for PII and financial capacity of intermediaries under the IDD

01 February 2018

The EIOPA has published a consultation paper on draft Regulatory Technical Standards adapting the base euro amounts for professional indemnity insurance (PII) and for financial capacity of intermediaries under the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD).

Holding the required level of PII is a key prudential and consumer protection safeguard. EIOPA is required under the IDD to develop draft Regulatory Technical Standards, which adapt the base euro amounts for PII and financial capacity of insurance intermediaries.

Based on a review carried out by EIOPA, which takes account of changes in Eurostat's European index of consumer prices, the proposed new amounts are EUR 1 300 370 and EUR 1 924 550 for the PII and EUR 19 510 for the financial capacity. EIOPA has to submit the draft Regulatory Technical Standards to the European Commission by 30 June 2018.

The aim of this consultation is to gather feedback on professional indemnity insurance and minimum financial capacity as well as the draft Regulatory Technical Standards. 

EIOIPA therefore welcomes comments to the consultation from all interested parties by 27 April 2018.
