Σταματάει τη λειτουργία η ασφαλιστική εταιρία Enterprise Insurance Company Plc με απόφαση των επoπτικών αρχών του Γιβραλτάρ

Nextdeal newsroom, 22/7/2016
H Επιτροπή Χρηματοοικονομικών Υπηρεσιών του Γιβραλτάρ (Gibraltar Financial Services Commission - GFSC) ενημέρωσε την Τράπεζα της Ελλάδος ότι αποφάσισε σήμερα να λάβει μέτρα κατά της ασφαλιστικής εταιρίας Enterprise Insurance Company Plc.
 
 
Τα μέτρα αφορούν την απαγόρευση έκδοσης νέων συμβολαίων και την παύση πληρωμών, εν αναμονή της κατάθεσης αίτησης για διορισμό προσωρινού εκκαθαριστή στην εταιρία, καθώς, όπως αυτή ενημέρωσε την GFSC, δεν ικανοποιεί τις απαιτήσεις φερεγγυότητας και δεν κατάφερε να εξασφαλίσει πρόσθετη χρηματοδότηση. Η Enterprise Insurance Company Plc εδρεύει στο Γιβραλτάρ και δραστηριοποιείται στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, τη Γαλλία, την Ιταλία, την Ιρλανδία, τη Νορβηγία και την Ελλάδα.
 
Η GFSC ενημέρωσε επίσης την Ευρωπαϊκή Αρχή Ασφαλίσεων και Επαγγελματικών Συντάξεων (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority – EIOPA), καθώς και τις εποπτικές αρχές όλων των κρατών-μελών της ΕΕ, στις οποίες έχει παρουσία η εταιρία Enterprise Insurance Company Plc. Στην Ελλάδα, για τον κλάδο υποχρεωτικής ασφάλισης αστικής ευθύνης από την κυκλοφορία χερσαίων αυτοκίνητων οχημάτων, η εν λόγω ασφαλιστική εταιρία έχει ορίσει ως ειδικό αντιπρόσωπο την Enterprise Hellas Ε.Π.Ε.

Enterprise Insurance Company PLC
 
The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (the Commission) has today intervened in the operations of Enterprise Insurance Company PLC (Enterprise or the Company).
 
On 22nd July 2016 the Commission has, under section 105 of the Financial Services (Insurance Companies) Act, directed Enterprise to cease effecting any new contracts of insurance.
 
The Commission has also issued certain directions under Section 100 of the Financial Services (Insurance Companies) Act prohibiting Enterprise from making any payments unless previously authorised by the Commission, in order to protect the assets of the Company.
 
The Commission is now taking steps to issue winding up proceedings with the cooperation of Enterprise to petition for the winding up of the Company. It is the intention to issue an application for the appointment of a provisional liquidator.
 
The Commission is taking this action as Enterprise has told the Commission the Company is insolvent and has not been able to secure additional funding.
 
The Commission is taking appropriate steps to protect policyholders. The Commission is notifying the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the relevant financial services regulators and compensation schemes in France, Greece, Italy, Norway, Ireland and the UK, where Enterprise has written business.
 
Enterprise has been under close supervision from the Commission due to concerns about its financial position. In recent months the Commission has been seeking assurances from Enterprise about its financial position. The Commission has required Enterprise to provide independent verification of important items. Enterprise has been working with its independent advisers to provide the relevant information to the Commission.
 
Recently Enterprise provided the Commission with the indicative outcome of the independent review. The impact of the independent review is a severe deterioration in the Company’s position and Enterprise is insolvent. The shareholders of the Company have been unable to contribute additional capital into the company, and in the interests of policyholder protection the Company has requested that the Commission takes steps to control the activities of the Company including issuing winding-up proceedings.
 
Samantha Barrass, GFSC CEO, says: “We have been working closely with Enterprise since the beginning of the year. We have been working with the Company using the new powers available to the Commission under Solvency II to ensure the Commission has the right information to support our supervision. The situation demonstrates the importance of receiving independent verifiable information. This has enabled us to act promptly avoiding unnecessary harm to policyholders.”
 
Peter Taylor, Director of Legal, Enforcement and Policy, says: “The Commission initiated action against Enterprise at the beginning of July. The Company has endeavoured to find a way out of its predicament but has not been able to do so. Once we had seen the outcome of the independent review of Enterprise’s position Enterprise advised the Commission it was insolvent. We have moved very quickly to ensure that we take all reasonable steps to safeguard the position of existing policy holders. This is an inevitable but unfortunate outcome for all concerned.”
