Question for written answer E-000322/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Rada Laykova (ESN)
In July 2024 the Joint Board of Appeal of the European Supervisory Authorities allowed an appeal by the insurance company NOVIS in relation to access to documents held by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) (BoA-D-2024-05).
EIOPA released a ‘sanitised’ version of a single document with over 70 % of the text redacted (EIOPA-BoS-22-293, recommendation to Národná banka Slovenska on actions necessary to comply with Directive 2009/138/EC).
EIOPA’s behaviour in this and other cases (e.g. Euroins Romania) is not in line with EU Treaty commitments that ‘decisions are taken as openly as possible’.
Recognising that transparency is key to building confidence in institutions, will the Commission:
- 1.arrange for non-redacted versions of this document to be made available to MEPs?
- 2.commit to examining how EIOPA’s repeated lack of transparency, as demonstrated in this and other cases, can be addressed?
