The Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) has placed for public consultation the “Strategic lines of action on industrial property for the three-year period 2021-2023”.

The consultation follows the “Action Plan on Intellectual Property to support EU recovery and resilience” adopted by the European Commission on 25 November last.

The Plan closes with an invitation to Member States to formulate their national policies and strategies in line with the stated objectives and to prioritise the strengthening of intellectual property protection and enforcement in their efforts to ensure economic recovery.

The consultation will remain open until 31 May.

EIOPA has published a discussion paper on blockchain and smart contracts in insurance.

The aim of the paper is to provide a high-level overview of risks and benefits of blockchain and smart contracts in insurance from a supervisory perspective as well as to gather feedback from stakeholders.

Although the current regulatory and supervisory framework can be considered mostly effective to address emerging risks, specific issues should be considered, based on the evolution of the technology and its uses in business processes. It is important to ensure appropriate understanding by insurance undertakings and supervisors as well as proportionate governance policies and processes, to guarantee that all relevant risks are identified and properly managed.
EIOPA invites stakeholders to provide their views to this discussion paper by filling in the EU survey  by 29 July.
