Guy Burton, PresidentofUAAM/VVOV

Session 1: Understanding the regulatory challenges The regulatory insurance landscape is facing far-reaching changes.

Many of these are driven by European initiatives such as Solvency II and

forthcoming corporate governance rules. This first session highlights

these changes from the point of view of the European Commission, the

supervisors and the European Parliament. Special attention will be given

to what will be expected from the mutual insurance sector and how their

points of view are taken into account.

14.00-18.00 Session 2: Enhancing stakeholder relations Chair: Werner Görg, Gothaer,Germany

The absence of shareholders means that mutual insurers are able to

concentrate more fully on relations with their stakeholders, particularly

their members and policyholders but also their staff, suppliers and

the community in which they are active. During this session, mutual

insurers from various sectors and countries will share some innovative

practices which we hope will inspire all delegates, insurers or not.

Session 3: Growing mutuals Chair: Iossif Iordanopoulos, SyneteristikiInsuranceCoInc,Greece

Despite a difficult environment for insurance, mutual insurers prove

again and again that they are eminently capable of stepping in to

cover new risks and new markets. As public authorities withdraw from

certain fields, mutual insurers contribute to the public-private debate

with expertise in areas such as medical liability. The emergence of new,

specific risks, for example in the agricultural field, leads to new mutuals

being set up. Furthermore, the challenges of increasing competition lead

mutual insurers to seek better ways of joining forces. This session will

explore the dynamic nature of mutuality in the insurance sector today.
