Earlier this year BETTER FINANCE congratulated EIOPA - The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority - for its successful efforts in striking a balance in its Insurance and Pensions Stakeholder Groups (IRSG and OPSG) between the number of industry representatives and representatives from civil society.
With five user-side expert members in the EIOPA Stakeholder Groups from among its ranks, BETTER FINANCE and its member organisations continue to lead the effort to further foster the involvement of consumers and retail users in the design of EU financial services policies and supervision.
Now, on 17 October 2018, at its inaugural meeting, the EIOPA Occupational Pensions Stakeholder Group Members further stressed their commitment to a strong representation on behalf of retail users of financial services by electing Aleksandra Mączyńska, Executive Director at BETTER FINANCE, as one of the Group’s Vice Chairs.
Bernard Delbecque, Senior Director for Economics and Research at the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA), was elected as its chair. Falco Valkenburg, Vice-Chairperson of the Board at the Actuarial Association of Europe (AAE), was also appointed Vice Chair.
All three were elected for a term of two and a half years, starting on 4 September 2018.
