An industry coalition of 23 international associations from multiple sectors, including AMICE Mutuals, today issued a joint statement, calling for a paradigm shift to reaffirm the General Data Protection Regulation’s (GDPR) risk-based approach as the guiding principle. Enhancing dialogue between regulators, including data protection authorities, and the industry is essential to harmonise the interpretation of the existing regime. This balance is crucial for protecting data, supporting operational business needs, and fostering innovation while ensuring legal compliance. Following the European Commission’s conclusions in its second report on the application of the GDPR, the coalition believes the new EU mandate must ensure a sustainable data use model, which should balance the right to personal data protection with other fundamental rights and public policy objectives, in line with the GDPR's original spirit.

Le thème de cette année est ‘ La mutualité en 2025 : s’adapter à de nouveaux territoires de risques.’ Le programme complet sera communiqué prochainement. Les membres de l’AMICE et de l’ICMIF sont invités à se joindre à nous le jeudi 4 décembre 2024 chez Aéma Groupe, à Paris à l’occasion du huitième dialogue des parties prenantes AMICE/ICMIF. https://lnkd.in/eN6ZzRmx #assurance #mutuelle

AMICE member Folksam highlights the role of insurance protection in the event of domestic violence to European insurance social partners. Folksam was the first Swedish insurance company to introduce protection in the event of domestic violence. The protection includes, among other things, financial support for urgent additional costs that arise for those who need to flee their home, as well as crisis support. The protection applies to everyone who is covered by home insurance, regardless of who signed it and regardless of whether you have your insurance via the union or via an individual home insurance.

Last week, Folksam took part in AMICE’s Annual Congress in Bilbao, the most important gathering of CEOs and senior management from Europe’s mutual and cooperative insurance companies.  Folksam’s representatives, Marie Rosvall, Regulatory Affairs and Emma Lindberg, Public Affairs, had many interesting exchanges of views with policy makers and colleagues from around Europe on various important topics.  🔶Petra Hielkema (she / her), Chairperson EIOPA, said that there will not be so much new regulation from the new Commission and that EIOPA will go back to supervising and implementing rather than regulating.  – We welcome that European Commission and EIOPA will focus more upon how to ensure that existing regulation meet their intended purpose, says Marie Rosvall, Folksam. 🔶Petra Hielkema also said that she appreciates mutual insurance companies’ contribution to society and its stability.  – As a mutual insurer, insuring two out of three Swedish households, we welcome that Petra Hielkema stressed that EU legislation shall work independently of the type of the company and that she wants to collaborate to ensure legislation works, says Emma Lindberg, Folksam.   🔶 Ruth Paserman, Director at DG Employment, European Commission, had an insightful analysis of the importance to work closely with the mutual insurance sector.  🔶 Butch Bacani, United Nations Environment Programme, held an inspiring talk about the net-zero developments, e.g. Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance, of which Folksam is one of the founders, and the work of the Net-Zero Insurance Alliance and Forum for Insurance Transition to Net-Zero.  🔶 Other important topics in the Congress were the contribution of mutuals to its customers and society, AI, climate risk, natural catastrophes, pension gap, Solvency II, DORA, IRRD, SFDR, CSRD, RIS, CMU, sustainability, Public Affairs and Advocacy. Thanks to AMICE Mutuals and Seguros Lagun Aro for arranging a good and very interesting congress, the hospitality, the great food of Bilbao, the guided tour and dinner in the #Guggenheim and for making all the fruitful discussions with colleagues possible via the #AMICE Congress.

At AMICE Mutuals 2024 Congress, the Art of Mutuality, the chair of the new Forum for Insurance Transition (FIT), Butch Bacani brilliantly addressed the role of #insurance in the #transition to a Net-Zero emissions economy, reminding us that #mitigation & #adaptation are not competing concepts & that they must be applied on both sides of the balance sheet. He finished by urging more #mutual #cooperative insurers to follow the lead of Achmea and Co-operators in joining the FIT.

In our last roundtable session, CEOs of leading European #mutual and #cooperative insurers share their valuable insights on how are mutual/cooperative insurers respond and anticipate the future requirements and expectations of their customer bases.
