<strong>EIOPA</strong> will further develop its database of current and historical data for<br />
occupational pension funds, insurance and reinsurance undertakings in the<br />
European Union, gathered in the context of <strong>EIOPA</strong>’s Financial Stability tasks.<br />
Such information is gathered either on a recurrent basis or ad hoc basis for<br />
specific surveys.<br />
6.2 Stress Test<br />
During the year <strong>2013</strong> a harmonised pan European stress test for the insurance<br />
sector will be carried out in accordance with the Regulation, (including<br />
consultation of the ESRB). The stress test will show the overall resilience in the<br />
insurance sector to various unlikely but still plausible adverse scenarios.<br />
The stress test is an important supervisory tool. It supports <strong>EIOPA</strong> in considering<br />
any supervisory actions to ensure financial stability. Further, the outcome of the<br />
stress test will also give insight to the preparedness of insurers going forward to<br />
Solvency II.<br />
6.3 <strong>EIOPA</strong> and the ESRB<br />
<strong>EIOPA</strong> will continue to contribute to the work of the ESRB. For <strong>2013</strong> this includes<br />
support to the <strong>EIOPA</strong> Chair in his role as 2 nd vice chair of ESRB General Board.<br />
<strong>EIOPA</strong> will also continue to contribute to the work of the ESRB Advisory Technical<br />
Committee. Finally, the <strong>EIOPA</strong> risk dashboard will be transmitted for each ESRB<br />
General Board meeting.<br />
In line with the <strong>EIOPA</strong> and ESRB Regulations, exchange of data is to be<br />
conducted, in particular financial and solvency data on an aggregated basis.<br />
Looking ahead to the introduction of Solvency II, <strong>EIOPA</strong> will have regard to the<br />
data to be collected for the purposes of single reporting standards. This would<br />
also include data required for financial stability purposes, including those<br />
stemming from the work to be performed by the ESRB.<br />
6.4 Emergency Situations<br />
In accordance with article 18 of <strong>EIOPA</strong> Regulation, <strong>EIOPA</strong> is to perform activities<br />
in emergency situations. By nature such work is to be done with shorter notice<br />
and flexibility than many other activities within the work programme. Please see<br />
