Thus, the requirements of Directive 98/78/EC on the supplementary supervision of insurance undertakings in an insurance group are completely introduced.
On the other hand, by adopting the new Regulation on the own funds and solvency margins requirements of the insurers and health insurance companies, the requirements of Directives 12 and 13 of 2002 of the EC regarding the determination of the solvency margin of the insurance undertakings are fully applied.
 At the same time, several texts were also specified, which texts could be ambiguously interpreted, and some omissions and incompleteness of the Regulation hitherto effective as established in the process of its implementation were removed.
