The Belgian insurance industry fully supports DORA's goal of digital operational resilience. The sector has already made significant investments in digital operational resilience and stands ready to meet these challenges. However, the current incident reporting requirements introduce unnecessary costs and administrative burdens, particularly for insurers and smaller firms.

Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)
Assuralia welcomes the European Commissions initiative and supports a review focused on improving clarity, usability, and coherence. Given the significant efforts already made by (re)insurers to implement the current framework, particularly regarding the now established Articles 6, 8, and 9 product classifications, this approach would be a practical and effective way to enhance the regulations functioning.
Many provisions included in the proposals will make consumers investment journey longer, more complicated, and intimidating than before. Steps were added to the very long purchase process under both the suitability and appropriateness tests, the reporting and record keeping requirements are increased.
FIDA should exclude pension data when already shared under an existing national pension tracking service (NPTS). In several MSs, data related to occupational pensions are already made accessible to customers and third parties through a NPTS. In Belgium, a well-functioning and well-established NPTS covers the first pension pillar (statutory pensions) and the second pension pillar (occupational pensions).
Assuralia considers that the applications (web and mobile) and client portals that are currently used by insurance companies to support the provision of insurance services do not fall within the scope of the CRA regulation.
The European Commission has adopted EIOPA’s proposal to harmonise recovery & resolution requirements. The proposal introduces pre-emptive recovery and resolution planning requirements. It is noted that some of the proposed resolution tools and powers are already present in the Belgian Solvency II law and are generally supported.
The European Commission has good intentions to make improvements to the Solvency II framework. For this purpose, it has proposed changes to the Solvency II directive and proposed a new directive with recovery and resolution measures. The proposals are heading in the right direction, but technical specifications still need to be further developed in the Delegated Regulation of Solvency II.
