Europe's insurers eye UK market
Article Abstract:
Large insurance companies seeking to establish a strong position in the pan-European market that will emerge with the introduction of the single European currency are looking closely at UK insurance companies, as they are becoming increasingly convinced that the UK will join the single European currency. Italian insurer Generali, for example, has stated that it has been actively seeking opportunities in the UK. There is also a growing realization among UK insurance companies that they are still a long way behind the largest continental European insurers, even after significant mergers.

Travel insurers wage war on fraud
Article Abstract:
The Association of British Insurers is taking tough action against people who make fraudulent claims against travel insurers. All insurers share an internal database, and each claim is checked to ensure that it has not already been made against another policy. Travel insurers deny allegations by some travellers that they are deliberately rejecting claims on their policies. To avoid the risk of a claim being rejected, it is important to ensure that you purchase the type of travel insurance most appropriate for what you are planning to do on holiday.
