Data used to calculate group-specific parameters shall satisfy the criteria set out in Article 104(7) of Directive 2009/138/EC and Article 219 of this Regulation. 3. The standardised methods used to calculate the group-specific parameters are the methods set out in Article 220 of this Regulation. 4. For the purposes of this Article, any reference in Articles 218, 219 and 220 of this Regulation to ‘undertaking-specific parameters’ shall be understood as a reference to ‘group-specific parameters’ and any reference to ‘insurance and reinsurance undertakings’ shall be understood as a reference to ‘the participating insurance or reinsurance company, the insurance holding company or the mixed financial holding company’ applying for the use of group-specific parameters.
