where:

(a)

each of the sums cover all the geographical regions set out in paragraph 8;

V(prem,r,s) denotes the volume measure for premium risk of the segment s and the region r;

(c)

2.For all segments set out in Annexes II and XIV and all geographical regions set out in paragraph 8, the volume measure for premium risk of a particular segment s and a particular region r shall be calculated in the same way as the volume measure for non-life or NSLT health premium risk of the segment s as referred to in Articles 116 and 147, but taking into account only insurance and reinsurance obligations where the underlying risk is situated in the region r.

3.For all segments set out in Annexes II and XIV and all geographical regions set out in paragraph 8, the volume measure for reserve risk of a particular segment s and a particular region r shall be calculated in the same way as the volume measure for non-life or NSLT health reserve risk of the segment s as referred to in Articles 116 and 147, but taking into account only insurance and reinsurance obligations where the underlying risk is situated in the region r.

4.For the purpose of the calculations set out in paragraphs 2 and 3, the criteria set out in Article 13(13) of Directive 2009/138/EC in the case of non-life insurance and the criteria set out in Article 13(14) of Directive 2009/138/EC in the case of life insurance shall be applied as if references in those criteria to Member States extended to regions also.

5.Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the factor for geographical diversification shall be equal to 1 for segments 6, 10, 11 and 12 set out in Annex II and for segment 4 set out in Annex XIV.

6.Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the factor for geographical diversification for a segment set out in Annex II shall be equal to 1 if insurance and reinsurance undertakings use an undertaking-specific parameter for the standard deviation for non-life premium risk or non-life reserve risk of the segment to calculate the non-life premium and reserve risk sub-module.

7.Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the factor for geographical diversification for a segment set out in Annex XIV shall be equal to 1 if insurance and reinsurance undertakings use an undertaking-specific parameter for the standard deviation for NSLT health premium risk or NSLT health reserve risk of the segment to calculate the NSLT health premium and reserve risk sub-module.
