(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (Solvency II)1, and in particular Article 249(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Without prejudice to other forms of cooperation and exchange of information that may occur bilaterally or multilaterally between supervisory authorities, procedures and templates are particularly necessary to facilitate an efficient and convergent exchange of information between the supervisory authorities in the college of supervisors since the college of supervisors should be the main platform for exchanging information among the supervisory authorities of a group.

(2)
Those procedures and templates are addressed to the supervisory authorities in the college of supervisors who decide as part of a coordination arrangement on the information needed for the activities of the college of supervisors and the modalities under which it should be exchanged pursuant to Article 357 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/352.
(3)

Effective and efficient supervision requires that the exchange of information and the cooperation between supervisory authorities take into account the nature, scale and complexity of the group, the availability and type of information and the most recent and relevant data.

(4)

This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority to the Commission.

(5)
The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Insurance Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council3,
