General good provisions

​​​​​​​​​​The compilation of examples of key General Good provisions published herein is intended to promote transparency for cross-border activity in accordance to Article 9 of EIOPA Regulation. It lists some of the requirements to be observed by insurance undertakings and/or intermediaries that intend to carry on business in EU/EEA Member State(s). In line with Article 11(3) of the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD), this page categorises national 'general good' provisions into different relevant areas of law and includes the hyperlinks to the websites of the competent authorities where information on 'general good' rules is published.

In accordance with Article 11(5) of the IDD, EIOPA published a Report analysing national General Good rules in the context of the proper functioning of the IDD and the internal market on 22 July 2019.

The report provides both a factual description of the types of rules which are published on the websites of the competent authorities and are applicable to insurance distribution activities, and a general assessment, facilitating the checking of main areas of divergence and impact of the general good provisions on the proper functioning of the IDD and the internal market more broadly.

As a follow-up to the publication of the Report, EIOPA invites all interested stakeholders to fill in an online survey on the Report by 22 September 2019. Click here for further information on the online survey.
