We kindly request clarification on the following points on Annex XVII of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 (DR) in relation to method-specific data requirements and method specifications for undertaking-specific parameters of the standard formula:

1) Section B, paragraph 1(a) states: "the payments made and the best estimates of the provision for claims outstanding in segment s after the first development year of the accident year of those claims (aggregated losses)". Do those aggregated losses refer to the payments plus the best estimate of the provision for year of occurrence seen at the end of year zero of evolution?

2) Section B, paragraph 2(f) states: “the aggregated losses include the expenses incurred in servicing the insurance and reinsurance obligations". Does the statement refer to the claims management expenses referred to in paragraph 1 point (c) of Article 31 DR or to all the expenses referred to in paragraph 1, points (a) to (d) of that Article?
