According to a survey of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, the health risk equalisation system in the Netherlands is the only such system within the Union that meets the criteria set out in Articles 109a(4) and (5) of Directive 2009/138/EC.\n(3)\nThe standard deviations laid down in this Regulation have been determined by taking into account the calculations provided by De Nederlandsche Bank.\n(4)\nThis Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority to the Commission.\n(5)\nThe European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
