Other financial info
Our members contribute to the financing of Assuralia. Part of those contributions are used by Assuralia to contribute to the financing of Insurance Europe and the Federation of Belgian Enterprises. The Federation of Belgian Enterprises in its turn uses part of those contributions to finance Business Europe. In order to avoid an overestimation of the total budget spent by the Belgian insurance sector on EU dossiers, the range chosen above does not include the membership fees paid by Assuralia to Insurance Europe and to the Federation of Belgian Enterprises.
