General comments:

This section relates to the annual submission of information for groups. The template is not due when the thresholds for reporting by country described below are not applicable, i.e. the home country represents 90 % or more of the total gross written premiums.

This template shall be reported from an accounting perspective, i.e.: Local GAAP or IFRS (if accepted as local GAAP. Groups shall use the recognition and valuation basis as for the published financial statements, no new recognition or re–valuation is required, except for the classification between investment contracts and insurance contracts when this is applicable in the financial statements. This template shall include all insurance business regardless of the possible different classification between investment contracts and insurance contracts applicable in the financial statements.

This template covers only insurance and reinsurance business within the scope of the consolidated accounting perspective.

The following criteria for the classification by country shall be used:

  • The information, provided by country, shall be completed for the five countries with the biggest amount of gross written premiums in addition to the home country or until reaching 90 % of the total gross written premiums;
  • For the direct insurance business for the lines of business ‘Medical expense’, ‘Income protection’, ‘Workers’ compensation’, ‘Fire and other damage to property’ and ‘Credit and suretyship’ information shall be reported by country where the risk is situated as defined in Article 13 (13) of Directive 2009/138/EC;
  • For direct insurance business for all other lines of business, information shall be reported by country where the contract was entered into;
  • For proportional and non–proportional reinsurance information shall be reported by country of localisation of the ceding undertaking.

For the purposes of this template ‘country where the contract was entered into’ means:

  • s) The country where the insurance undertaking is established (home country) when the contract was not sold through a branch or freedom to provide services;
  • t) The country where the branch is located (host country) when the contract was sold through a branch;
  • u) The country where the freedom to provide services was notified (host country) when the contract was sold through freedom to provide services.
  • v) If an intermediary is used or in any other situation, it is a), b) or c) depending on who sold the contract.
