I voted for the report on insurance and reinsurance (Solvency II) as I support the proposal to amend Directive 2009/138/EC (Solvency II). It seeks to extend the deadline for transposition until 30 June 2013, instead of 31 October 2012, and to extend the start date until 1 January 2014. I believe the deadline for the transposition of Solvency II needs to be extended, in order to ensure the legal continuity of Solvency I until Solvency II has been implemented in full. Doing nothing at this stage would create a situation of legal uncertainty for the insurance sector.
