But this problem does not interest the ECJ. He is concerned essentially with the question: Is it okay if the sex of the insured as a risk factor in the calculation of tariffs play a role? And so sometimes the men, sometimes discriminated against women?
Discriminated against is presently the insurers - and black paint. Munich-Re-chief Nikolaus von Bomhard warned that in case of emergency all the "better off" turned their backs the underwriters and "another system" were looking for. "That's why it's an art to organize the insurance community," he said, referring to the private insurers.
