Advisory Committee on Proportionality
The Advisory Committee on Proportionality (ACP) is an advisory body that is an integral part of EIOPA. Its role is to advise EIOPA on how it should adopt proportionality principles in its work and to assess how the organisation has put these principles in practice.
The committee advises EIOPA to take into account differences prevailing in the sector related to the nature, scale and complexity of risks, to business models and practice as well as to the size of financial institutions and markets.
Moreover, the committee advises EIOPA where proportionality can be improved or prioritised. In particular it:
- gives advice on possible elements to be explored by EIOPA;
- may provide ad hoc advice to EIOPA on its own initiative;
- reviews how EIOPA has taken into account the Committee’s advice.
It assesses the proportionality aspects set out in Article 1(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 concerning the applicable regulatory framework.
