Der FRIDA e.V. steht vollumfänglich hinter den gemeinschaftlichen Bestrebungen der Europäischen Union, Finanzdaten im Sinne der FiDA-Verordnung zu standardisieren und den Kunden in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. Gleichzeitig müssen für dieses übergeordnete Ziel alle relevanten Stakeholder und Rahmenparameter betrachtet sowie Kosten und Nutzen gegenübergestellt werden. Mit Beginn des Trilogs, muss daher der Blick auf die Details erfolgen. Wir als FRIDA e.V. leisten unseren Beitrag, in dem wir diese Details, immer mit Blick auf das gemeinsame Ziel, kritisch beleuchten und eine iterative Vereinfachung und chancenzentriete Optimierung begrüßen. - Erstellung von Positionierung­spapieren/Stel­lungnahmen - Interessensvertretung der Versicherungsw­irtschaft - Vorträge und Information rund um FIDA - Teilnahme an unterschiedlichsten Formaten (z.B.
