Response to Review of the Designs Directive
31 Jan 2023
AEMA Groupe was born in January 2021 from the ambition shared by MACIF and AÉSIO Mutuelle to create the first mutual protection group in France. Joined in September 2021 by Abeille Assurances, AEMA Group, the 5th largest insurance group in France, is present in all insurance businesses. It covers the protection needs of 11 million people and meets the insurance and service needs of 1 in 6 French people. The group has more than 18,000 employees, 1,800 elected representatives and achieved a turnover of 11 billion in 2021. The creation of OFI Invest in September 2022 also enables the group to strengthen its position in the asset management market. AEMA GROUPE, MACIF and Abeille-Assurances : - support the revision of Directive 98/71/EC - support the introduction of a repair clause as a step in the right direction - request instant liberalisation for existing and future designs and models. Their responses to the European Commission's consultation on the Proposal for a Directive on the Legal protection of designs (COM(2022) 667 final) are attached.

11 Jan 2021
As a major mutual insurance society, leader in mobility (first mobility insurer in France with more than 6 million vehicles including more than 800,000 motorcycle insured), MACIF fully supports the review as envisaged by the European Commission of both Directive 98/71/EC on the legal protection of designs and Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 on Community designs.
MACIF fully supports the European Commission objective to complete the Single market for repair spare parts through (a) further harmonisation of rules on repair spare parts’ protection and (b) full liberalisation of that aftermarket through the introduction of a repair clause into the Design Directive. We trust however that a revision of Directive 98/71/EC and Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 should be supported by further EU initiatives designed to improve access and reuse of mobility and vehicle data for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Indeed, as stated in the Commission study « Access to In-vehicle Data and Resources », « centralisation of in-vehicle data on so-called 'extended vehicle data platform servers', currently implemented by several vehicle manufacturers, might in itself not be sufficient to ensure fair and undistorted competition between service providers ».
Such combined initiatives should aim at ensuring fair and effective competition, strengthen the competitiveness of the independent repair spare parts market, bring greater choice and lower prices for consumers and insurance policyholders and broadly contribute to the objectives and the development of a circular economy.
