Insurance Europe calls on EU leaders to deliver a genuine simplification package for financial services
This position paper emphasizes the insurance industry's role as a strategic asset for the continent's economic stability and long-term growth. The organization argues that over-regulation and complex, overlapping legal frameworks currently hinder the sector's ability to invest in European priorities like green technology and infrastructure. To address this, they propose a simplification package and a “Financial Services Omnibus” aimed at reducing administrative burdens and stopping unnecessary new rules. By streamlining requirements for reporting and capital, the industry believes it can better support household savings and enhance the global competitiveness of the Single Market. Ultimately, this paper serves as a formal call for EU leaders to prioritize regulatory efficiency to ensure that insurance providers can continue to anchor Europe’s financial resilience.
