EIOPA is at the heart of insurance and occupational pensions supervision in the EU. Our aim is to foster financial stability and confidence in the insurance and pensions markets.
EIOPA is an independent advisory body to the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. We are one of the EU agencies carrying out specific legal, technical or scientific tasks and giving evidence-based advice. In this way, we help shape informed policies and laws at EU and national levels. EIOPA is one of three European Supervisory Authorities. The other two are the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
Our mission
EIOPA seeks to enhance European societal resilience by contributing to the stability and sustainable development of the European insurance and occupational pensions sectors, for the benefit of citizens and society more broadly. Operating in supervisory unity – thereby promoting consistent implementation of regulatory requirements via high-quality supervisory practices, effective enforcement measures, and sound technical advice – EIOPA strives to protect the rights of policyholders, pension scheme members and beneficiaries and to foster public trust in the EU’s insurance and occupational pensions sectors.
