Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage
The European Commission, on both the competition and Internal Market sides, is aware of our legislative proposal and has no objection to it. Directorate General Internal Market has, however, indicated that, whenever the insurance guarantee directive is approved, our legislation will have to be amended to reflect the new position. It is likely that this will be in a minimum of three to four years time and will be the same for all other member states.
