The assessment of the Supervisory Board finds the first-term performance satisfactory, with her new mandate running from Septemeber 2026
April 10th, 2026 – Council Implementing Decision 2026/834 extends the mandate of Petra Hielkema, first named in 2021, and whose term was set to expire at the end of August this year.
The Renewal follows the procedure set out in Article 48(3) of Regulation (EU) 1094/2010, which establishes EIOPA, the European Insuranec and Occupational Pensions Authority. Under that procedure, in the nine months preceding the end of the Chair’s five-year term, the Board of Supervisors must conduct a performance assessment. The Council may then, on the basis of that assessment, and a proposal from the Board of Supervisors, assisted by the Commission, renew the mandate once. The Board of Supervisors, after conducting their assessment, has considered that the first term was satisfactory and that continuity of leadership would contribute to the effective delivery of EIOPA’s mandate, recommending the renewal.
