Summary/Abstract: Solvency control levels are understood as the levels at which a supervisory authority can or has to intervene when an insurance company does not meet the specified criteria. In Solvency II conceptual assumptions refer to total solvency, while quantitative standards depend on the risk profile and constitute a supporting parameter in an overall evaluation of financial situation. Failure to meet capital requirements gives the right or obliges the supervisory authority to take up several actions consisting, among others, in the requirement of providing information or explanation, requirement to present and implement remedial plans, or gives the right to withdraw the permission for running an insurance company. The possibility of imposing capital surcharge represents the new component which has also been analyzed in the study.
