General
• establishment of the FSA as per the best
international models, is a clear signal of
consolidation and standartization of the regulatory
and supervisory regime
• to supervise does not any more mean mainly to lead
into confrontation with others, neither on the real
battlefield nor in economics, but to guide the
direction towards universal rule of the law
• the efforts paid by the FSA in enhancing the
regulation and supervision of the markets are very
well combined by the introduction of modern
integrated IT platform, which include various IT
systems such as Motor Information Center, Web
based off site reporting for insurance and pensions,
GSRM, etc.
