Subsection 1

Any insurance undertaking that intends to pursue business for the first time in one or more Member States under the freedom to provide services shall first notify the supervisory authorities of the home Member State, indicating the nature of the risks or commitments it proposes to cover. Within one month of the notification provided for in Article 147, the supervisory authorities of the home Member State shall communicate the following to the Member State or States within the territories of which an insurance undertaking intends to pursue business under the freedom to provide services: a certificate attesting that the insurance undertaking covers the Solvency Capital Requirement and Minimum Capital Requirement calculated in accordance with Articles 100 and 129; the classes of insurance which the insurance undertaking has been authorised to offer; the nature of the risks or commitments which the insurance undertaking proposes to cover in the host Member State. At the same time, the supervisory authorities of the home Member State shall inform the insurance undertaking concerned of that communication. Member States within the territory of which a non-life insurance undertaking intends, under the freedom to provide services, to cover risks in class 10 in Part A of Annex I other than carrier’s liability may require that insurance undertaking to submit the following: the name and address of the representative referred to in Article 18(1)(h); a declaration that it has become a member of the national bureau and national guarantee fund of the host Member State. Where the supervisory authorities of the home Member State do not communicate the information referred to in paragraph 1 within the period laid down therein, they shall state the reasons for their refusal to the insurance undertaking within that same period. Such a refusal or failure to act shall be subject to a right to apply to the courts in the home Member State. The insurance undertaking may start business as from the date on which it is informed of the communication provided for in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1. Any change which an insurance undertaking intends to make to the information referred to in Article 145 shall be subject to the procedure provided for in Articles 147 and 148.
