THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/138/EC of 25 November 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (Solvency II)(1), and in particular the fourth paragraph of Article 56 and Article 256(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The harmonised disclosure requirements on quantitative information included in the solvency and financial condition report should be assured by the application of a prescribed set of disclosure templates, which allow for an improved understanding of the information being disclosed to the public, especially for comparison across time and across different undertakings. The application of templates should also assure the equal treatment of insurance and reinsurance undertakings and should improve the understanding of disclosures performed by groups.
(2) When insurance and reinsurance undertakings, participating insurance and reinsurance undertakings, insurance holding companies or mixed financial holding companies are authorised to publish a single solvency and financial condition report they should disclose separately, as part of their report, the information specified in this Regulation for individual undertakings for each insurance and reinsurance subsidiary covered by that report and the information prescribed for groups.
(3) To ensure the consistent use of the means of disclosure, the relevant provisions on means of disclosure of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35(2) should apply to the disclosure of group and single solvency and financial condition reports.
(4) Insurance and reinsurance undertakings and groups should only disclose the information applicable for their business. For example, certain options provided for by Directive 2009/138/EC, like the use of the matching adjustment for the calculation of the technical provisions or the use of a full or partial internal model or of underwriting-specific parameters for the calculation of the solvency capital requirement, affect the scope of the information to be disclosed. In most cases, only a subset of the templates provided for in this Regulation should be disclosed, as not all the templates are applicable for all undertakings.
(5) The provisions in this Regulation are closely linked to each other, since they deal with the procedures and templates for the disclosure of the solvency and financial condition report. To ensure coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and access to them by persons subject to those obligations, including investors that are non-Union residents, it is desirable to include all the implementing technical standards required by Article 56 and 256(5) of Directive 2009/138/EC in a single Regulation.
(6) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority to the Commission.
(7) 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 and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3),
