The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority has submitted an official Opinion to the European Commission regarding proposed technical amendments to two draft Implementing Technical Standards covering supervisory reporting and disclosure requirements.
Procedural background and web hosting proposal
On 19 October 2026, the European Commission notified the authority of its intention to amend the draft standards originally submitted on 30 March 2026. Acting under the procedure set out in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010, the Commission proposed decoupling technical reporting and disclosure instructions from the technical standards themselves.
Under this approach, the supervisory reporting instructions and public disclosure instructions will be published separately directly on the authority's website. The authority will be responsible for keeping those instructions updated, taking into account feedback from supervisory authorities and supervised institutions.
Impact on Solvency II implementation timelines
The authority confirmed its agreement with the Commission's change, noting that hosting instructions directly on its website improves the agility and operational responsiveness of the reporting framework. The authority intends to publish the English-language instructions on its site as soon as the Commission formally adopts the supervisory reporting and disclosure standards.
The core substance of the draft technical standards, including proposed reporting reductions and simplifications, remains unchanged from the version submitted in March 2026. Insurance sector participants can proceed with preparations for the revised Solvency II framework application date of 30 January 2027, working in line with the draft standards and Taxonomy 2.10.0.
