Enterprises wound up or being in the run-off are excluded (enterprises in the run-off should be excluded if their investments/provisions are small, while large enterprises in the run-off have to be accounted for). Branches of enterprises with head office in non-EEA countries are covered. For reinsurance enterprises no branches of enterprises with head office in non-EEA countries are recorded.Code: 11 11 1Name: Number of enterprises broken down by legal statusDefinitionThe number of enterprises (see variable 11 11 0) is broken down by legal status as follows: incorporated enterprises limited by shares, mutual enterprises, branches of insurance enterprises with head office in non-EEA Member States, others.Link to other variablesNumber of enterprises broken down by legal status is a further breakdown of the number of enterprises (11 11 0).Code: 11 11 2Name: Number of enterprises broken down by class of gross premiums writtenDefinitionThe number of enterprises (see variable 11 11 0) broken down by size classes of gross premiums written.Link to other variablesNumber of enterprises broken down by size class of gross premiums written is a further breakdown of the number of enterprises (11 11 0).Code: 11 11 3Name: Number of enterprises broken down by size class of gross technical provisionsDefinitionThe number of enterprises (see variable 11 11 0) broken down by size class of gross technical provisions.Link to other variablesNumber of enterprises broken down by size class of gross technical provisions is a further breakdown of the number of enterprises (11 11 0).Code: 11 11 5Name: Number of enterprises broken down by country of residence of the parent enterpriseDefinition"Parent enterprise": shall mean a parent undertaking within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Council Directive 83/349/EEC of 13 June 1983 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty on consolidated accounts(2), and any undertaking which, in the opinion of the relevant supervisory authority, effectively exercises a dominant influence over the insurance enterprise.The following geographical breakdown of parent enterprises has to be used: parent enterprise situated in the home Member State (the observed enterprise can be regarded as domestic controlled), parent enterprise situated in other countries (the observed enterprise can be regarded as foreign controlled). As mutual enterprises and branches of insurance enterprises with head office in non-EEA countries do not have any parent enterprise, these enterprises are not considered here. The ultimate beneficiary ownership is the concept preferred which should as far as possible be followed.Note:For practical reasons Member States have the choice to deliver this variable only for those insurance enterprises which are - as regards their gross premiums written - under the top 90 % of the life insurance, non-life insurance, composite insurance and specialist reinsurance markets. If Member States follow this alleviation it has to be indicated.Link to other variablesNumber of enterprises by residence of the parent enterprise is a further breakdown of the number of enterprises (11 11 0).Code: 11 41 0Name: Total number and location of branches in other countriesDefinitionBranch as defined in Article 1 of Council Directive 92/49/EEC(3) (third non-life insurance Directive) and Article 1 of Council Directive 92/96/EEC(4) (third life assurance Directive).

Inversely a drop in a provision leads to an income (e.g. a decrease in the provision for unearned premiums means higher premiums earned compared to premiums written) the corresponding variable should therefore be reported with a PLUS sign.Code: 12 11 0Name: Gross premiums writtenDefinitionArticle 35 of Directive 91/674/EEC: gross premiums written as equivalent for turnover.Note:For the layout of the profit and loss account (technical account): Article 34, I. 1(a) of Directive 91/674/EEC for non-life insurance business and Article 34, II. 1(a) of Directive 91/674/EEC for life insurance business.Link to other variables>TABLE>Gross premiums written is used in the calculation of gross premiums earned and other aggregates and balances.Code: 32 11 4Name: Gross premiums written broken down by legal statusDefinitionThe gross premiums written (see variable 12 11 0) are broken down by legal status as follows: incorporated enterprises limited by shares, mutual enterprises, branches of insurance enterprises with head office in non-EEA Member States, others.Note:For reinsurance enterprises no branches of enterprises with head office in non-EEA countries are recorded.Link to other variablesGross premiums written broken down by legal status is a further breakdown of the gross premiums written (12 11 0).Code: 12 11 1Name: Gross premiums writtenDefinitionArticle 35 of Directive 91/674/EEC.
