(a)

paragraph 1 is amended as follows: points (l) and (m) are replaced by the following: ; the simplified calculations provided for specific risk modules and risk sub-modules referred to in Article 109(1) and for immaterial risk modules and risk sub-modules referred to in Article 109(2), as well as the criteria that insurance and reinsurance undertakings, including captive insurance undertakings and captive reinsurance undertakings, shall be required to fulfil in order to be entitled to use simplifications, as set out in Article 109(1); the approach to be used with respect to qualifying holdings within the meaning of Article 13, point (21), in the calculation of the Solvency Capital Requirement, in particular the calculation of the equity risk sub-module referred to in Article 105(5), taking into account the likely reduction in the volatility of the value of those qualifying holdings arising from the strategic nature of those investments and the influence exercised by the insurance or reinsurance undertaking on those investees;’ the following subparagraphs are added: ‘For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), of this paragraph, the methods, assumptions and standard parameters for the interest rate risk sub-module referred to in Article 105(5), second subparagraph, point (a), shall reflect the risk that interest rates may further decrease even where they are low or negative and the calculation of the interest rate risk sub-module shall be consistent with the extrapolation of interest rates in accordance with Article 77a. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this subparagraph, the calculation of the interest rate risk sub-module shall not be required to take into account the risk of interest rates falling to levels below a negative floor where a negative floor is determined such that the likelihood of interest rates across relevant currencies and across maturities not being at all times above the negative floor is sufficiently small. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (h), of this paragraph, the methods and adjustments to be used to reflect the reduced scope for risk diversification of insurance and reinsurance undertakings relating to ring-fenced funds shall not apply to the portfolios of assets that are not ring-fenced funds and that are assigned to cover a corresponding best estimate of insurance or reinsurance obligations as referred to in Article 77b(1), point (a).’;
