In order to determine whether the group Solvency Capital Requirement calculated on the basis of consolidated data in accordance with Article R. 356-19 appropriately reflects the risk profile of the group, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution, in its capacity as group supervisor, shall pay particular attention to all cases where the circumstances referred to in I of Article L. 352-3, are likely to arise at group level and in particular in cases where:
a) A specific risk existing at group level would, because it is difficult to quantify, not be sufficiently taken into account by the standard formula or by the internal model used;
b) A capital add-on to their Solvency Capital Requirement is imposed on the related European insurance or reinsurance undertakings by the supervisory authorities concerned, pursuant to the criteria mentioned in Article L. 352-3 and Article R. 356-20-2.
To determine whether the group Solvency Capital Requirement calculated on an aggregated basis in accordance with Article R. 356-22 adequately reflects the risk profile of the group, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution, after consultation with the supervisory authorities concerned, shall pay particular attention to specific risks existing at group level which, because they are difficult to quantify, would not be sufficiently taken into account.
The methods for determining the additional capital requirement at group level are specified in Articles 276 to 287 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2015/35 of 10 October 2014.
