European Parliament
Marian Harkin  (ALDE ),
in writing.
– I support this report and the commendable work undertaken by my colleague, Sharon Bowles. The report should prove a tangible step towards a more sustainably efficient European insurance sector, particularly through an increased emphasis on long-term investment. While I believe that these proposals make sense at the current point of negotiations on Omnibus II, I do not think that they should be brought into full legal force until EU agreement has been reached on this package. I wish the Cypriot Presidency every success in ensuring a smooth and timely implementation of these rules in the coming months.
