REGULATION (EU) 2022/2036 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 19 October 2022

amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Directive 2014/59/EU as regards the prudential treatment of global systemically important institutions with a multiple-point-of-entry resolution strategy and methods for the indirect subscription of instruments eligible for meeting the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), Regulation (EU) 2019/877 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) amended the Union resolution framework for credit institutions and investment firms through amendments to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) and Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (9), respectively. Those amendments were necessary to implement in the Union the international ‘Total Loss-absorbing Capacity (TLAC) Term Sheet’, published by the Financial Stability Board on 9 November 2015 (the ‘TLAC standard’), for global systemically important banks, referred to in the Union framework as global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs), and to enhance the application of the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) for all banks. The revised Union bank resolution framework should better ensure that the loss absorption and recapitalisation of banks occurs through private means when those banks become financially unviable and are, subsequently, placed in resolution. |

Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), Regulation (EU) 2019/877 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) amended the Union resolution framework for credit institutions and investment firms through amendments to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) and Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (9), respectively. Those amendments were necessary to implement in the Union the international ‘Total Loss-absorbing Capacity (TLAC) Term Sheet’, published by the Financial Stability Board on 9 November 2015 (the ‘TLAC standard’), for global systemically important banks, referred to in the Union framework as global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs), and to enhance the application of the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) for all banks. The revised Union bank resolution framework should better ensure that the loss absorption and recapitalisation of banks occurs through private means when those banks become financially unviable and are, subsequently, placed in resolution.

| (2) | Article 12a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 provides that G-SIIs with a resolution strategy under which more than one group entity might be resolved (‘multiple-point-of-entry resolution strategy’ or ‘MPE resolution strategy’) are to calculate their risk-based requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities on the theoretical assumption that only one entity of the group would be resolved, with the losses and recapitalisation needs of any subsidiaries of that group being transferred to the resolution entity (‘single-point-of-entry resolution strategy’ or ‘SPE resolution strategy’). A similar requirement is provided for in Article 45d(4) of Directive 2014/59/EU, regarding the additional requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities that may be imposed by resolution authorities pursuant to paragraph 3 of that Article. In line with the TLAC standard, those calculations should take into account all third-country entities that are part of a G-SII that would be resolution entities if they were established in the Union. |

Article 12a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 provides that G-SIIs with a resolution strategy under which more than one group entity might be resolved (‘multiple-point-of-entry resolution strategy’ or ‘MPE resolution strategy’) are to calculate their risk-based requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities on the theoretical assumption that only one entity of the group would be resolved, with the losses and recapitalisation needs of any subsidiaries of that group being transferred to the resolution entity (‘single-point-of-entry resolution strategy’ or ‘SPE resolution strategy’). A similar requirement is provided for in Article 45d(4) of Directive 2014/59/EU, regarding the additional requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities that may be imposed by resolution authorities pursuant to paragraph 3 of that Article. In line with the TLAC standard, those calculations should take into account all third-country entities that are part of a G-SII that would be resolution entities if they were established in the Union.

| (3) | In accordance with Article 45h(2), third subparagraph, of Directive 2014/59/EU, and in line with the TLAC standard, the sum of the actual requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities of a G-SII with an MPE resolution strategy is not to be lower than that group’s theoretical requirement under an SPE resolution strategy. In order to align the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 with those of Directive 2014/59/EU and to ensure that resolution authorities always act in accordance with that Directive and consider both the requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and any additional requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities determined in accordance with Article 45d of Directive 2014/59/EU, Article 12a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 should be amended and Article 92a(3) of that Regulation should be deleted. This should not prevent resolution authorities from concluding that any adjustment to minimise or eliminate the difference between the sum of the actual requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities of a G-SII with an MPE resolution strategy and that group’s theoretical requirement under an SPE resolution strategy, when the former is higher than the latter, would be inappropriate or inconsistent with the G-SII’s resolution strategy. To ensure consistency between Article 12a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Article 45h(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU, the calculation referred to in Article 45h(2) of that Directive should also take into account all third-country entities that are part of a G-SII that would be resolution entities if they were established in the Union. |

In accordance with Article 45h(2), third subparagraph, of Directive 2014/59/EU, and in line with the TLAC standard, the sum of the actual requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities of a G-SII with an MPE resolution strategy is not to be lower than that group’s theoretical requirement under an SPE resolution strategy. In order to align the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 with those of Directive 2014/59/EU and to ensure that resolution authorities always act in accordance with that Directive and consider both the requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and any additional requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities determined in accordance with Article 45d of Directive 2014/59/EU, Article 12a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 should be amended and Article 92a(3) of that Regulation should be deleted. This should not prevent resolution authorities from concluding that any adjustment to minimise or eliminate the difference between the sum of the actual requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities of a G-SII with an MPE resolution strategy and that group’s theoretical requirement under an SPE resolution strategy, when the former is higher than the latter, would be inappropriate or inconsistent with the G-SII’s resolution strategy. To ensure consistency between Article 12a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Article 45h(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU, the calculation referred to in Article 45h(2) of that Directive should also take into account all third-country entities that are part of a G-SII that would be resolution entities if they were established in the Union.

| (4) | Article 92b of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 sets out that the requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for material subsidiaries of non-EU G-SIIs that are not resolution entities may be met, inter alia, with eligible liabilities instruments. However, the criteria for eligible liabilities instruments laid down in Article 72b(2), points (c), (k), (l) and (m), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 presuppose the issuing entity to be a resolution entity. It should be ensured that those material subsidiaries can issue debt instruments that meet all eligibility criteria, as originally intended. |

| (5) | In accordance with Article 72e(4), first subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, it is possible for resolution authorities to permit a G-SII with an MPE resolution strategy to deduct certain holdings of own funds and eligible liabilities instruments of its subsidiaries that do not belong to the same resolution group by deducting a lower, adjusted amount specified by the resolution authority. Article 72e(4), second subparagraph, of that Regulation requires that in such cases the difference between the adjusted amount and the original amount be deducted from the loss absorbing and recapitalisation capacity of the subsidiaries concerned. In line with the TLAC standard, that approach should take into account the risk-based and non-risk-based requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities of the subsidiary concerned. Furthermore, that approach should be applicable to all third-country subsidiaries that are part of that G-SII, as long as those subsidiaries are subject to a resolution regime that, according to the relevant resolution authority in the Union, is legally enforceable and implements internationally agreed standards, more specifically the Financial Stability Board’s document ‘Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions’, published in October 2011, and the TLAC standard. |

| (6) | Directive (EU) 2019/879 amended Directive 2014/59/EU to introduce specific rules on the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources, that is of own funds and liabilities that meet the conditions of Article 45f(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU, within resolution groups. In order to operationalise those rules and to ensure that that indirect subscription is carried out in a prudentially sound manner, the European Supervisory Authority (European Banking Authority) (EBA), established by Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10), was mandated under Article 45f(6) of Directive 2014/59/EU to develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify methods for such an indirect subscription of eligible resources. However, as highlighted by the EBA in its letter to the Commission dated 25 January 2021, there were several inconsistencies between the requirements for the delegation laid down in Directive 2014/59/EU and the existing prudential rules laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, which did not allow the application of the prudential treatment needed for the mandate to be fulfilled as originally intended. More precisely, the EBA noted that Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 did not allow for the deduction of internal MREL eligible resources and, subsequently, for the application of an appropriate risk weight in all the cases relevant for the mandate under Directive 2014/59/EU. Similar issues were identified in the area of the leverage ratio requirement laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. In light of those legal constraints, the methods developed by the EBA should be incorporated directly into Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. Consequently, Article 45f(6) of Directive 2014/59/EU should be deleted. |

| (7) | In the context of the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources by resolution entities pursuant to the revised Union bank resolution framework, intermediate entities should be required to deduct the full holding of internal MREL eligible resources issued by entities that are not themselves resolution entities and which belong to the same resolution group. That ensures the proper functioning of the internal loss-absorbing and recapitalisation mechanisms within a group and avoids the double-counting of the internal MREL eligible resources of those entities for the purposes of compliance by the intermediate entity with its own internal MREL. Without those deductions, the proper implementation of the chosen resolution strategy could be compromised since the intermediate entity could use up, not only its own loss absorption and recapitalisation capacity but also that of other entities that are not themselves resolution entities and which belong to the same resolution group, before the intermediate entity or those other entities are no longer viable. To ensure that the obligation to deduct is aligned with the scope of entities that may be used by the resolution entity for the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources, and to avoid regulatory arbitrage, intermediate entities should deduct their holdings of internal MREL eligible resources issued by all entities belonging to the same resolution group and that may be subject to compliance with internal MREL, and not just the holdings of resources issued by their subsidiaries. The same obligations should apply in the case of indirect issuance of resources eligible for compliance with the requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for material subsidiaries of non-EU G-SIIs laid down in Article 92b of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, where relevant. |

The same obligations should apply in the case of indirect issuance of resources eligible for compliance with the requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for material subsidiaries of non-EU G-SIIs laid down in Article 92b of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, where relevant.

| (8) | To ensure that the deduction regime remains proportionate, intermediate entities should be able to choose the mix of instruments, consisting of own funds or eligible liabilities, with which they fund the acquisition of ownership of internal MREL eligible resources. That would allow intermediate entities to completely avoid any own funds-related deductions as long as they have issued sufficient eligible liabilities. The deductions should therefore first be applied to the eligible liabilities items of the intermediate entities. Where the intermediate entity is required to comply with internal MREL pursuant to Directive 2014/59/EU on an individual basis, the deductions should be applied to the eligible liabilities meeting the conditions of Article 45f(2) of that Directive. In case the amount to be deducted exceeds the amount of the eligible liabilities items of the intermediate entities, the remaining amount should be deducted from their Common Equity Tier 1, Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 items, starting with Tier 2 items in accordance with Article 66, point (e), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. In such a case, it is necessary that the deductions corresponding to the remaining amount are also applied when calculating own funds for the purposes of the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (11). Otherwise, the solvency ratios of intermediate entities that have issued own funds, rather than eligible liabilities, to fund the acquisition of ownership of internal MREL eligible resources may be overstated. Additionally, by keeping the treatment of holdings of internal MREL eligible resources aligned for prudential and resolution purposes, an undue increase in complexity is avoided, as institutions would be able to continue to calculate, report and disclose one set of total risk exposure amount and total exposure measure for prudential and resolution purposes. Article 49(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly. |

| (9) | To further enhance the proportionality of the deduction regime, that regime should not be applicable in the exceptional cases where, pursuant to Article 45f(1), third subparagraph, and (4) of Directive 2014/59/EU, internal MREL is applied on a consolidated basis only, as regards the holdings of internal MREL eligible resources issued by entities included in the perimeter of consolidation. The same exception should apply when the requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for material subsidiaries of non-EU G-SIIs laid down in Article 92b of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 is complied with on a consolidated basis, pursuant to Article 11(3a) of that Regulation. |

| (10) | The indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources should ensure that, when a subsidiary reaches the point of non-viability, losses are effectively passed on to, and the subsidiary concerned is recapitalised by, the resolution entity. Those losses should thus not be absorbed by the intermediate entity, which should become a mere vehicle through which those losses are passed on to the resolution entity. Consequently, and to ensure that the outcome of the indirect subscription is equivalent to that of a full direct subscription, as envisaged under the mandate set out in Article 45f(6) of Directive 2014/59/EU, for the purposes of calculating the total risk exposure amount of the intermediate entity, risk weights should not be applied to the exposures deducted under the new deduction regime to be introduced in Article 72e of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. In the same vein, those exposures should be excluded from the calculation of the total exposure measure of the intermediate entity. The treatment consisting of not applying risk weights and excluding those exposures from the total exposure measure should be strictly limited to exposures that are deducted in accordance with the new deduction regime to be introduced in Article 72e of that Regulation for the sake of operationalising the approach of indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources. |

| (11) | The templates for the public disclosure of harmonised information on MREL and on the requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for material subsidiaries of non-EU G-SIIs set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/763 (12) should be amended to reflect the new deduction regime for internal MREL eligible resources. The disclosure templates should also be amended to include the total risk exposure amount and the total exposure measure that intermediate entities would have if they did not exclude the exposures deducted under that new deduction regime. |

| (12) | Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to fully harmonise the prudential treatment of the holdings by intermediate entities of internal MREL eligible resources of entities in the same resolution group and to revise in a targeted manner the requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities for G-SIIs and for material subsidiaries of non-EU G-SIIs, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. |

The Commission should duly assess possible structural solutions to any identified issues such as enlarging the possibility for entities that are not themselves resolution entities to comply with their MREL on a consolidated basis. The accompanying legislative proposal that the Commission may adopt should duly consider the date of application of the dedicated treatment for the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources, so that it can be implemented before Article 72e(5) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 becomes applicable.
