O single member of IL/Açores, Nuno Barata, wants to determine the amount collected through the fees and contributions on insurance premiums paid in the region and what amount is transferred to Civil Protection.
In a request submitted by the Legislative Assembly of the Azores, the deputy asks the Regional Government (PSD/CDS-PP/PPM) to provide detailed information on these revenues, covering the period 2015 to 2025 and the first nine months of 2026.
In a press release, the party states that “there are different legally planned contributions to insurance contracts, including the 2.5% rate associated with the financing of the medical emergency, which covers certain motor insurance”.
In addition to contributions on fire insurance, transport of dangerous goods and agricultural and livestock insurance.
According to IL/Açores, the request for information after the party has examined the public accounting documents of the Regional Civil Protection and Fire Department (SRPCBA) in which “receivings from insurance fees and contributions are identified”, but “without sufficiently detailed discrimination that allows the actual amounts received by each type of contribution to be known”.
Cited in the note, Nuno Barata says that “the budget statements of 2024 refer to a reinforcement of EUR 1.5 million associated with the increase in income from insurance fees”, only “this amount does not correspond to the total annual revenue received, nor does it allow to identify how much was collected through each insurance modality”.
Therefore, IL wants the Regional Government to clarify “the amounts effectively charged by insurers, the amounts transferred to the SRPCBA and the amounts accounted for as regional public revenue”.
