Insurance Europe calls for an immediate "𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸" on the implementation of the 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 (𝗜𝗥𝗥𝗗). It contends that the directive, as currently drafted, risks imposing disproportionate and unnecessary burdens on insurers across Europe. It is held that the proposed framework exceeds international standards and introduces requirements that are more complex and costly than those in other major jurisdictions, potentially 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗨 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝘀. It argues that the IRRD's extensive obligations are not aligned with the low systemic risk of the insurance sector, and existing safeguards like 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗜𝗜 already provide robust protection. The suggested pause would permit a thorough impact assessment to ensure proportionate regulation.

These responses from Insurance Europe to various consultations by EIOPA concerning the Insurance Recovery and Resolution Directive (IRRD) outline the insurance industry's feedback on guidelines for identifying critical functions, removing impediments to resolvability, criteria for pre-emptive recovery planning and market share determination, and the content of both recovery and resolution plans, as well as resolvability assessments. A recurring theme across these responses is the industry's call for proportionality, flexibility, and reduced administrative burden, emphasizing that the IRRD's application should consider the unique characteristics of the insurance sector, distinguishing it from banking. The responses also frequently highlight concerns about duplication with existing DORA and Solvency II requirements and the lack of quantitative cost assessments for proposed regulations.
