Survey on taxonomy implementation starting dates

The target audience for this survey encompasses a broad spectrum of stakeholders potentially impacted by the amendments to any EIOPA supervisory reporting taxonomy. This includes regulatory authorities, government agencies, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, asset managers, auditors, consultants, and other entities who are involved in managing, overseeing, or contributing to data reporting mechanisms in the insurance and retirement sectors.

EIOPA aims to gain in-depth technical insights into potential challenges that stakeholders might face if the starting date of a new taxonomy were to be set for the 4th quarter or the 1st of January of the year after. During EIOPA's reporting public event held on 10 October 2023, initial feedback highlighted diverse views and preferences on this matter with some participants expressing concerns.

In light of this feedback and the need for a more comprehensive understanding of stakeholder perspectives, EIOPA is actively seeking input from all relevant parties.

The survey has been made available online, it provides the necessary context and it is designed to be straightforward and easy to complete.

The deadline to respond to the Survey is Friday 14 June 2024 COB.
