slide1. New Developments in Insurance Supervision Solvency II and Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) Steffi Illegems
PhD Candidate Antwerp Liability Law and Insurance Chair Antwerp, 26 April 2018<br>
slide2. Overview Scope and structure
Types of requirements
Proportionality principle
In the shadow of banking supervision
Similar objectives, yet conflicting results?
Review v. implementation
Food for thought… 2<br>
