EIOPA launches EU-wide thematic review on consumer protection issues in travel insurance

Today, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) launched a thematic review on consumer protection issues in travel insurance. The purpose of the review is to identify consumer protection issues in travel insurance and possible actions to ensure better consumer protection.

Through the review, EIOPA will assess potential sources of consumer detriment stemming from how travel insurance products are designed, distributed and sold within the European Union. In particular, EIOPA will consider the impact of emerging distribution and business models on consumers and, more broadly, on the insurance industry. Where the impact results in consumer detriment, EIOPA intends to identify the steps needed to ensure that consumers are treated fairly.
