Corporate scandals at the beginning of the 2000s and the recent global financial crisis have renewed the attention of academics, regulators and practitioners to agency problems and possible solutions in the financial sector. Since that time, much thought has been given to new regulations and international corporate governance standards, in an attempt to guarantee prudent and sound financial management. While much of this thought has been focussed on the banking sector, Corporate Governance in the European Insurance Industry provides a unique perspective on the subject, focusing on the insurance industry and asking some important theoretical and practical questions. Are insurance companies systemically relevant, and does the existing regulation provide adequate protection for customers and guarantee financial stability? Is regulatory intervention consistent with economic and financial theories? And crucially, is this intervention consistent with empirical evidence of the behaviour and performance of insurance companies? The first part of this book provides the reader with a comprehensive review of current academic studies on the topic; the second part moves on to examine the regulation of corporate governance and its recent evolution after the global financial crisis. Within a context of vivid debate in the financial services industry, the issues explored in this book will be of value to anyone with an interest in insurance corporate governance and regulation. It is also a key source of research for academics in insurance and finance, as well as PhD students and post-graduate students in relevant subjects.

The New Substances Notification (NSN) Regulations for Chemicals & Polymers have been in place under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act since 1994. To fulfill a commitment to review these regulations following three years of implementation, a multi-stakeholder consultative process was established in 1999 comprising representatives from industry, public advocacy groups, and the federal government. This report details the background, context, deliberations, & final recommendations of the NSN consultations. It includes an introduction to the NSN Regulations and the New Substances Program and the guiding principles used in the multi-stakeholder discussions. Issues, deliberations, and recommendations are presented under five themes: improving the environmental & health assessments for new substances; the regulatory framework; the transparency of the NSN regulatory process; improving responsiveness of the Regulations & Program in the global context; and service delivery. Appendices contain background information & references pertaining to the consultation process and the NSN Regulations & Program.
