EIOPA announces the new composition of its stakeholder groups

The Board of Supervisors of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has selected new members for the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group (IRSG) and Occupational Pensions Stakeholder Group (OPSG) that begin their four-year mandate today. The two groups, 60 members in total, play an important role by facilitating EIOPA's consultation with stakeholders in the EU on issues that apply to the insurance and pensions sectors, both in terms of regulation and supervision. The stakeholder groups were formed keeping in mind EIOPA's responsibilities and the anticipated work in areas such as sustainable finance, digitalisation, and operational resilience. The IRSG and OPSG are composed of high-ranking representatives from the insurance and pension industry, consumers, academia, small and medium-sized enterprises, employees, and professional associations.

Following an open call, EIOPA received 179 applications from 28 European countries. In its selection process, EIOPA aimed to achieve geographical and gender balance while ensuring a diverse representation of interests. EIOPA's advisory bodies now include members from 21 different nationalities and 22 women.
