The objective of this conference is to update practitioners on the
most recent developments in the field of insurance law. The Financial
Services Action Plan was implemented with a view to improving the
single market in financial services, including the insurance market, by
allowing insurers to operate throughout the European Union whilst
ensuring a high level of consumer protection. Over recent years,
legislative measures have been adopted in order to achieve open and
secure retail markets as well as sound supervisory structures.
The conference will also focus on other relevant measures concerning
insurance undertakings and contract law designed to enhance consumer
protection, such as:
- Jurisdiction and applicable law in insurance contracts
- motor insurance
- insurance mediation
- Solvency II, the Commission’s proposal for a new directive to be adopted in 2009
- Principles of European Insurance Contract Law (PEICL).
