Erschienen in:
Insurance Regulation in the European Union
Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to describe how the IDD contributes to greater (and/or better) consumer protection and what the main differences are with the IMD. It is also the intention to give a flavour of the EU regulatory process and some indications on the interaction of IDD with other regulations. In this respect, the author hopes that this chapter will also contribute to the identification of the areas in which the sector can start preparing for the practical consequences of the IDD. This chapter refers to the IDD as published in the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU) on 2 February 2016.
