Representative, and the European Commission's Directorate-General for Financial Stability,
Financial Services and Capital Markets Union, as well as by U.S. state insurance commissioners
and representatives from the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority.
During this sixth Joint Committee meeting under the Agreement, participants on both sides
provided updates regarding the implementation and administration of the Agreement with
regard to reinsurance (including collateral and local presence), group supervision and
exchange of information. Both sides rea irmed the importance of the Agreement and
acknowledged that the Agreement is functioning well. Both sides also rea irmed their
commitment to continuous review of progress under the Agreement and close coordination
between the two sides. Consistent with the Agreement, both sides are continuing to
encourage relevant authorities to refrain from taking any measures that are inconsistent with
any of the provisions of the Agreement.
