Go back

Do you agree with the inclusion of tied agents, as set out in Article 36(4)? If not, what alternative do you suggest?

yes, we agree with your Authority

you agree that the inclusion of tied agents would be covered with a certain amount related to a tied agent rather than a variable sum? Or do you prefer the capital requirement to be calculated in the same manner as for the investment firm?

Yes, we agree with the Authority that the inclusion of tied agents should be covered by a percentage related to a tied agent.

Currently, a 35% share is proposed as the proportion of costs to be included for tied agents. Do you believe this is adequate?

We believe that the percentage should be increased to at least 40%, as a natural consequence of the evolution of remuneration of tied agents in the near future, both for the regulated application of CRD3 by the authorities, and because of national contractual discipline of the professional category.

Do you agree with the proposed 20% threshold in Article 36a? Please provide evidence of the potential impact of this threshold.
