Recital 9

(9) The further integration of the Union internal market for insurance is a key objective of this amending Directive. The integration of the internal market for insurance increases competition and the availability of insurance products across Member States to the benefit of businesses and consumers. Insurance failures in the Union internal market for insurance since the application of Directive 2009/138/EC emphasise the need for more consistency and convergence of supervision across the Union. The supervision of insurance and reinsurance undertakings operating under the freedom to provide services and the right of establishment should be further improved without undermining the objective of further integrating the internal market for insurance to ensure consistent consumer protection and safeguarding fair competition across the internal market.
