Notification

1.   Where the supervisory authority of the home Member State intends to authorise an insurance or reinsurance undertaking whose scheme of operations indicates that a part of its activities will be based on the freedom to provide services or the freedom of establishment in another Member State, and that scheme of operations also indicates that those activities are likely to be of relevance with respect to the host Member State’s market, the supervisory authority of the home Member State shall notify EIOPA and the supervisory authority of the relevant host Member State thereof.

2.   The supervisory authority of the home Member State shall, in addition to the notification provided for in paragraph 1, also notify EIOPA and the supervisory authority of the relevant host Member State where it identifies deteriorating financial conditions or other emerging risks posed by an insurance or reinsurance undertaking carrying out activities which are based on the freedom to provide services or the freedom of establishment and which may have a cross-border effect. The supervisory authority of the host Member State may also notify the supervisory authority of the relevant home Member State where it has serious and reasoned concerns with regard to consumer protection. The supervisory authorities may refer the matter to EIOPA and request its assistance in cases where no bilateral solution can be found.

3.   The notifications referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be sufficiently detailed to allow for a proper assessment.

4.   The notifications referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 are without prejudice to the supervisory mandate of the supervisory authorities of the home Member State and host Member State provided for in this Directive.
