Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR)

The answer to this question is provided by the European Commission. For the purpose of the calculation of the factor for geographical diversification in the non-life or the health premium and reserve risk, a reference to a country in paragraph 8 of Annex III of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 should contain all of that country’s territories, irrespective of their legal or administrative status, unless otherwise specified in that paragraph.Therefore, the Åland Islands as part of Finland and the Faroe Islands as part of Denmark should be assigned to the region “Northern Europe” in the calculation of the factor for geographical diversification.In accordance with point (a) of paragraph 1 of that Annex, any geographical area that is not a territory or part of a territory listed in paragraph 8 of that annex should not be taken into account in the calculation of the factor for geographical diversification of a particular segment.
