At the beginning of 2022, the ABBL and ACA agreed to enhance their collaboration on multiple fronts. In order to further leverage existing synergies, ACA is joining the existing representation office of ABBL and ALFI in Brussels, which is now expanding its scope to include insurance and reinsurance matters at the EU level.
The ambition of our association is to broaden the advocacy work of the insurance sector to reach policymakers in European institutions, in addition to other national associations and companies in the industry permanently based in Brussels.
Antoine Kremer set up and heads the representative office of the ABBL, ACA and ALFI in Brussels. In this capacity, he is responsible for representing the three associations before the European institutions.
Antoine has professional experience with several European institutions including the Commission, the Parliament and the Council and a pure advocacy experience of 16 years. He holds a degree in International Affairs from the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) and a Master in European Legal Affairs from the European Institute of Public Affairs. Antoine is fluent in Luxembourgish, English, French, German, Italian and Dutch.
