Pursuant to the European Parliament and Council Regulation no. 1094/2010 of 24 November 2010 establishing the European Insurance and Occupational Authority (EIOPA) and, given the resignation of one of the members (academic) of the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group effective as of 1st January 2012, EIOPA is now calling for expression of interest from potential stakeholders from the academic community.

On the basis of the statutory rules and requirements of the abovementioned Regulation, the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group has been set up to help facilitate consultation with stakeholders in areas relevant to the tasks of the Authority. Members of the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group, 30 in total, are individuals appointed to represent in balanced proportions insurance and reinsurance undertakings and insurance intermediaries operating in the Union, and their employees' representatives, as well as consumers, users of insurance and reinsurance services, representatives of SMEs and representatives of relevant professional associations. At least five of its members shall be independent top-ranking academics.

This call for expression of interest regards one position of a member (academic) in the EIOPA Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group and is open to suitable candidates from any part of the EU. As this is a replacement, the mandate will expire at the same date as the one of the larger Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group (i.e. end August 2013). For more details, click here.
