The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has launched a follow-up survey concerning the Pan-European Personal Pension Product (PEPP).

Following its first inquiry, conducted in 2021, EIOPA is seeking evidence to gauge and better understand the potential take-up of PEPP by eligible providers, including asset managers and institutions for occupational retirement provision (IORPs).

The survey is asking whether respondents are considering offering a PEPP from their organisation.

If they are not planning on offering a PEPP, EIOPA wants to know why this is the case, and if they are undecided, what are they main issues that need to be addressed to take a decision on whether to offer a PEPP.

It is also seeking answers about how far in the future those who are considering offering a PEPP will aim to provide the product.

Finally, EIOPA asked whether those intending to offer a PEPP planned to distribute it outside of their member state.

EIOPA stated that the responses would provide it with “valuable insight” and help the European supervisory community to prepare for the implementation of the PEPP regulations on 22 March 2022.

The survey is open until 28 February 2022.
