Mexican brokers face new disclosure rules


An agreement over broker disclosure has been reached between Mexico's insurance regulator CNSF and the country's insurance association Amis. The agreement comes after supervisors in North America revealed how brokers enter into side arrangements with insurers over commissions related to business volume.

The new rules being planned by supervisors in Mexico will require greater disclosure of the commissions that insurers pay brokers and agents to sell their products.

Under new rules that will take affect from January 1, 2006, all policies will include a clause informing insurance buyers that they can ask the insurer how much the broker or agent was paid. Once notified, the insurer has 10 days to respond.

At the same time insurers will have to disclose in their financial statements the brokers who receive contingent commissions, the type of contingent commission paid, and the amount of contingent commissions paid out as a percentage of premiums.

Contingent commissions are fees paid to brokers by insurers in addition to direct commissions. Contingent commissions are based on the volume of business placed with an insurer. Since regulators in the US started looking into the abuse of contingent commissions, where some brokers have directed business to those insurers who pay the most, brokers have pledged to stop accepting them.

The bulletin covering direct commissions is available for public comment on the website of federal agency Cofemer while the second bulletin dealing with contingent commissions will be posted shortly.

Amis says it wants to introduce the new rules to prevent any potential legal problems that could arise over commission transparency.

Welding-Fumes Suits Raise Specter of Costly Liabilities
Wall Street Journal (07/29/05) P. C1 ; Zuckerman, Gregory; Aeppel, Timothy

July 29, 2005

A federal court in Cleveland indicated Sunday that it will allow lawsuits to go forward alleging that fumes from welding products caused workers to develop Parkinson's disease, a debilitating neurological malady. The situation raises the possibility of costly legal liabilities for companies involved in making and distributing welding materials. Still, any costs are unlikely to approach those from asbestos and defendants will still be able to challenge any evidence purporting to link the fumes and Parkinson's when individual lawsuits are heard. Companies have long argued that it is hard to pinpoint the genesis of neurological diseases such as Parkinson's, making it difficult for plaintiffs to prove that these maladies were caused by manganese, a metal used in rods and wires that has been recognized as unhealthy if its fumes are inhaled. Among the big current and former producers of welding materials being targeted in litigation are Lincoln Electric Holdings Inc. of Cleveland, which is the largest maker of welding equipment and rods based on sales. Also in focus are companies that distributed welding materials or were big users, such as General Electric and Caterpillar. "It is definitely a significant ruling," says Sigurd Sorenson, a lawyer at Clifford Chance US LLP in New York who has defended companies that were involved in asbestos and silica litigation. "Plaintiffs can make the argument that there is a connection between fumes and Parkinson's, and that gives plaintiffs a lot of leverage" to potentially pursue financial settlements. Welding-fumes cases have become an issue in the legal community, with lawyers placing ads to find workers with potential exposure. Plaintiffs' attorneys say there are about 10,000 current suits alleging neurological injuries from welding fumes and an estimated 500,000 or more workers with current, or past, exposure to welding fumes. If the problems even come close to those caused by asbestos, shares will suffer. Many companies that had even remote dealings with asbestos have faced heavy legal liabilities from suits related to alleged asbestos-related maladies. Sorenson and other attorneys say it is unclear if any of the suits will ever prove successful. Nonetheless, some investors following the cases have shown some jitters. Some companies say they have insurance coverage that could cover at least some of any litigation costs.
