Edouard  DE LAMARZELLE, CEO, PSA Insurance, Malta

Anna KADAR, The Latvian EU Presidency, Brussels

Nico SPIEGEL, Policy Officer, Insurance, DG for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union

 

Statement by David Harrison:

On behalf of Genworth Financial, a global provider of Lifestyle Protectioninsurance, Chief Marketing Officer David Harrison made the following observations: Genworth has policyholders in 27 countries around the globe, with 9 million customers and about 120 distribution partners - mainly Banks - in Europe (and increasingly also in Asia and Latin America). Genworth provides policyholders with income protection in case of redundancy, accident or sickness, as well as mortgage and rent insurance, living expense insurance, critical illness, life cover, auto GAP, hospital cover and family income plans across Europe. Our main concern ahead of the trilogue negotiations on IMD II are the rules on cross-selling, which continue to be confusing. They are also somewhat different in various pieces of legislation: IMD II, Mortgage Credit Directive, MIFID II, Payment Accounts Directive. From a practitioner's point of view, the definition adopted by the Council of Ministers is preferable to the version adopted by the European Parliament. We hope that multi-risk policies can continue to be sold as they currently are and do not have to be 'unpicked'. A ban on tying, which some MEPs want, would lead to many products currently sold together having to be taken off the market for little if any justifiable reason. Overall, the revised Directive is going in the right direction, and hopefully the final compromise text will be proportionate and workable in practice.
