On October 17, 2017, the European Commission published a request to the European Supervisory Authorities (“ESAs“) to issue recurrent reports on the past performance and cost of the main categories of insurance, pension and retail investment products.
In its request, the Commission states that the reporting should be based on information originating from disclosures and reporting required under the MiFID Directive, the Insurance Distribution Directive, the Regulation on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products and other EU and national legislation.
The Commission outlines a tentative timetable for the reports, indicating that the first report on data availability, costs and performances should be available in the third and fourth quarter of 2018.
