The Reinsurance Directive was adopted in 2005 and was to be implemented by member states no later than 10 December 2007 (with some provisions coming into force by 10 December 2008). Although a number of member states missed the 2007 deadline, most have now completed their implementation or are expected to do so by December 2008.

With the final deadline approaching, EAPD has published a new edition of its guidance note on the Reinsurance Directive, focusing on implementation in the UK and on the implications for reinsurers outside the EEA.
