AMICE
AMICE, the Association of Mutual Insurers and Insurance Cooperatives in Europe, was created in January 2008 through the merger of the two previously existing associations of mutual and cooperative insurers in Europe, AISAM and ACME, to represent the interests of the sector with one united voice.
Its prime purpose is to ensure that the voice of the mutual and cooperative insurance sector in Europe is heard and that the interests of its members are taken into account in securing a level playing field for all insurers in Europe regardless of their legal form.
AMICE provides a platform for mutual and cooperative insurers of all sizes to combine resources and expertise, exchange experiences across national borders and discuss key issues and concerns relating to planned legislative and regulatory changes and developments.
With more than 120 direct members and 1,600 indirect members, representing a third of the insurance companies in Europe and 20% of the premiums, AMICE speaks for a significant part of the insurance sector.
