(24)Directive 2009/138/EC provides that supervisory authorities are to assess whether any new person appointed to manage an insurance or reinsurance undertaking or to perform a key function is fit and proper. However, those who manage the undertaking or perform a key function should be fit and proper on a continuous basis. In the case of non-compliance with the fit and proper requirements, supervisory authorities should have the power to take measures, such as, where appropriate, removing the person concerned from the relevant position.
