(71) In view of the pan-European character of the PEPP, there is a need to ensure a consistent high level of PEPP saver protection throughout the internal market. This requires adequate tools to effectively combat infringements and prevent consumer detriment. Therefore, the powers of EIOPA and the competent authorities should be complemented by an explicit mechanism for prohibiting or restricting the marketing, distribution or sale of any PEPP giving rise to serious concerns regarding PEPP saver protection, including with respect to the long-term retirement nature of the product, the orderly functioning and integrity of financial markets, or the stability of the whole or part of the financial system, together with appropriate coordination and contingency powers for EIOPA. The powers of EIOPA should be based on Article 9(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 so as to ensure that such mechanisms for intervention can be applied in the case of significant PEPP saver protection concerns, including with respect to the particular long-term retirement nature of the PEPP. Where the conditions are met, the competent authorities should be able to impose a prohibition or restriction on a precautionary basis before a PEPP has been marketed, distributed or sold to PEPP savers. Those powers do not relieve the PEPP provider of its responsibility to comply with all the relevant requirements under this Regulation.
