Insurance Europe, which is based in Brussels, Belgium, represents undertakings that account for around 95% of total European premium income.

European insurers pay out over €1 000bn annually — or €2.8bn a day — in claims, directly employ more than 920 000 people and invest over €10.6trn in the economy.

[3][4] Insurance Europe is a fair and reliable partner and a contact point for Institutions of the European Union, politicians and supervisors.

In the regulatory process, it represents the common interests of European insurers by developing, promoting, defending, illustrating and lobbying industry positions that are supported by technical research and expertise.

The federation also plays a supporting role in relation to its members and provides information and guidance on issues of interest to the European insurance sector.
