That notice came from Karel Van Hulle, head of insurance and pensions-financial institutions with the European Commission in Brussels, one of two European regulators briefing the NAIC spring meeting on European solvency regulations in the works.

Mr. Van Hulle said creation of new solvency standards focusing on risk assessments from modeling will make it possible to use capital more efficiently.
