EIOPA said his appointment followed an open selection procedure, a nomination by EIOPA’s Board of Supervisors and a public hearing at the European Parliament’s Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.
Parente said that his term would be "extremely important" for EIOPA while it transitioned from a regulatory to a supervisory role in the insurance sector.
"I am fully committed to contributing to further build up EIOPA, as a strong inclusive supervisory authority with a clear focus on the interests of EU citizens," he added.
Gabriel Bernardino, chairman of EIOPA, thanked outgoing director Carlos Montalvo for the formative first five years of EIOPA and added: "I am extremely pleased to welcome Fausto to EIOPA’s management team. His skills and long-term experience in the field of national and international supervision will be highly beneficial in managing the day-to-day implementation of EIOPA’s vision and strategies and in delivering the important agenda entrusted to EIOPA."
