EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

This amending SI has been prepared to address an inconsistency between the Insurance Distribution Directive as transposed by the Insurance Distribution Regulations, and the application of the suitability requirements of the Central Bank of Ireland Consumer Protection Code 2012.
