Article 238
Subsidiaries of an insurance or reinsurance undertaking: determination of the Solvency Capital Requirement
Where the Solvency Capital Requirement of the subsidiary is calculated on the basis of the standard formula and the supervisory authority having authorised the subsidiary considers that its risk profile deviates significantly from the assumptions underlying the standard formula, and as long as that undertaking does not properly address the concerns of the supervisory authority, that authority may, in exceptional circumstances, propose that the undertaking replace a subset of the parameters used in the standard formula calculation by parameters specific to that undertaking when calculating the life, non-life and health underwriting risk modules, as set out in Article 110, or in the cases referred to in Article 37, to set a capital add-on to the Solvency Capital Requirement of that subsidiary.
The supervisory authority shall discuss its proposal within the college of supervisors and communicate the grounds for such proposal to both the subsidiary and the college of supervisors.
That agreement shall be recognised as determinative and shall be applied by the supervisory authorities concerned.
The supervisory authority having authorised that subsidiary shall defer its decision and await any decision that EIOPA may take in accordance with Article 19 of that Regulation, and shall take its decision in conformity with EIOPA's decision.
That decision shall be recognised as determinative and shall be applied by the supervisory authorities concerned.
The decision shall state the full reasons on which it is based.
The decision shall be submitted to the subsidiary and to the college of supervisors.
