CEIOPS is composed of high level representatives from the insurance and occupational
pensions supervisory authorities of the European Union Member States. The authorities
of the other Member States of the European Economic Area (Norway, Iceland and
Liechtenstein) and the European Commission participate in CEIOPS' activities as
observers.
CEIOPS is involved in both Level 2 and 3 Lamfalussy activities by:
-
providing advice to the European Commission on drafting of implementation measures
for framework directives and regulations on insurance and occupational pensions
("Level 2 activities"), and
-
issuing supervisory standards, recommendations and guidelines to enhance convergent
and effective application of the regulations and to facilitate cooperation between
national supervisors ("Level 3 activities")
Consequently, CEIOPS is currently:
-
advising the Commission, either at the Commission's request or on the Committee's
own initiative, in particular on the preparation of draft implementing measures
in the fields of insurance, reinsurance and occupational pensions;
-
contributing to the consistent implementation of EU Directives and to the convergence
of Member States' supervisory practices throughout the Community;
-
acting as a forum for supervisory co-operation, including the exchange of information
on supervised institutions;
-
dealing with convergence in the supervision of insurance companies and occupational
pension funds.
