Recital 10
(10) Directive 2009/138/EC excludes certain undertakings from its scope, due to their size. Following the first years of application of Directive 2009/138/EC and with a view to ensuring that it does not unduly apply to undertakings of reduced size, it is appropriate to review those exclusions by increasing those thresholds, so that small undertakings that fulfil certain conditions are not subject to that Directive. As is already the case with insurance undertakings excluded from the scope of Directive 2009/138/EC, undertakings benefitting from such increased thresholds should have the option to keep or seek authorisation under that Directive in order to benefit from the single license provided therein and it should be possible for Member States to subject insurance undertakings that are excluded from the scope of Directive 2009/138/EC to provisions that are similar or identical to the ones provided for in that Directive.
