Compared with traditional commercial bank customers, consumer finance customers and auto finance customers have a higher credit risk: they are more vulnerable, and more likely to default and obtain bad personal credit records. At the same time, these customers might be unfamiliar or do not proactively seek the security net that insurance provides. Meanwhile, insurance groups and holding companies strive to bring synergies to their markets by cross-selling between life insurance, health insurance and P&C companies, which requires them to obtain the qualification of cross-selling each other’s products in China. Many foreign-owned insurance companies do not have this cross-selling qualification, and those that do have obtained it in the past only for selected business lines. Meanwhile, draft regulation for commercial banks to cross-sell insurance has been released. In addition, consumer finance companies and auto finance companies seek to act as insurance agents in the same way that banks do. To successfully compete in the market, insurance companies, consumer finance companies and auto finance companies must be enabled to apply for this qualification.

尊敬的会员,

10月27日,上海市十五届人大常委会第二十六次会议表决通过了《上海市反不正当竞争条例》(以下简称“《条例》”)并将于明年1月1日施行。本次通过的《条例》将上位法修订后的相关规定以及实践中总结的诸多新业态及问题纳入其中,在《反不正当竞争法》的框架内做了很多细化,但其中仍有某些界定较为模糊,增加了企业面临监管的合规压力。

中国欧盟商会有幸请到上海市人大常委会法制工作委员会两位老师莅临商会为会员公司深度解读《上海反不正当竞争条例》的立法思路,并解答会员针对该《条例》的疑问与顾虑。现诚邀企业报名参加,本次讲座向中国欧盟商会会员免费开放。

请在报名时备注是否为线上还是线下参加,并将报名信息(单位、姓名、职务、邮箱、手机)发至sthe@europeanchamber.com.cn邮箱。
