Strategic Objective 1: Enhance relations with European institutions
Establish and maintain relationships with key European institutions, so that the AAE can effectively provide them with high quality professional advice to improve the soundness of decisions from an actuarial perspective.

- Reinforce existing relationships with the European Commission and EIOPA;
- Build and enhance relationships with the European Parliament and the Council of the EU; and

Promote consistent standards of education and professionalism among actuaries in Europe.
- prescribe minimum requirements for the education of actuaries to be applied by member associations;

- develop and maintain model standards of actuarial practice for work undertaken by actuaries in relation to EU regulatory requirements;
- maintain a mutual recognition agreement which is consistent with the requirements of the EU Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive;
- support the development and recognition of individual member associations;
- help to ensure that regulated actuarial work is performed by those properly qualified to undertake it and subject to relevant professional and technical actuarial standards; and
- support the development and recognition of actuarial work in wider fields as actuaries extend their areas of involvement.
