Valuation of all assets and liabilities, other than technical provisions should be carried out, unless otherwise stated in conformity with International Accounting Standards as endorsed by the European Commission. They are therefore considered a suitable proxy to the extent they reflect the economic valuation principles of Solvency II. Therefore the underlying principles (definition of assets and liabilities, recognition and derecognition criteria) stipulated in the IFRS-system are also considered adequate, unless stated otherwise and should therefore be applied to the Solvency II balance sheet. .
