The survey was initiated when the
Solvency II Directive and the CEIOPS
final advice on Level 2 implementing
measures had already been published.
Following the publication of these
advice papers, representatives of the
insurance industry and regulators held
heated discussions about the overly
prudent capital requirements contained
in these proposals. By the time you
read this report, the industry will
already be discussing the issues
relating to the fifth quantitative impact
study (QIS5), which was published to
coincide with our work on processing
these survey results.
