The discussion about the reform has to be seen in light of developements in the financial service sector (banks, insurance undertakings, security firms), which is curretly marked by increasing competition, new products, the formation of groups and growing internationalization.

The control of insurance undertakings is therefore basically financial supervicion with the following key areas: technical provisions, investments and own funds (solvability). The supervisoy authorities for insurance companies have not yet fully adapted to the new situation, but are nevertheless already asking for new "harmonized" legislation with three main objectives: better information of the supervisory authorities, tighter control of intragroup transactions and above all and high solvency requiement</abstract>
