Article 231 Group internal model

1. In the case of an application for permission to calculate the consolidated group Solvency Capital Requirement, as well as the Solvency Capital Requirement of insurance and reinsurance undertakings in the group, on the basis of an internal model, submitted by an insurance or reinsurance undertaking and its related undertakings, or jointly by the related undertakings of an insurance holding company, the supervisory authorities concerned shall cooperate to decide whether or not to grant that permission and to determine the terms and conditions, if any, to which such permission is subject.

An application as referred to in the first subparagraph shall be submitted to the group supervisor.

The group supervisor shall inform the other members of the college of supervisors, including EIOPA, of the receipt of the application and shall forward the complete application, including the documentation submitted by the undertaking, to those members, without delay. Upon the request of one or more supervisory authorities concerned, EIOPA may provide technical assistance, pursuant to point (b) of Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010, to the supervisory authority or authorities which requested the assistance, with respect to the decision on the application.
