(7)A number of criteria are to be considered to assess temporary equivalence under Article 172(4) of Directive 2009/138/EC and provisional equivalence under Article 227(5) of Directive 2009/138/EC. Those criteria include certain common requirements, particularly concerning the solvency regime in place and the powers resources and responsibilities of the supervisor. Other criteria are different for the two types of equivalence, in particular those concerning the convergence towards an entirely equivalent regime, the exchange of information with supervisory authorities, and professional secrecy.
