2. The resolution authority shall be a public administrative authority or authorities entrusted with public administrative powers.

3. Resolution authorities may be national central banks, competent ministries or other public administrative authorities or authorities entrusted with public administrative powers. Member States may exceptionally provide for the resolution authority to be the competent authorities for supervision for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Directive 2013/36/EU. Adequate structural arrangements shall be in place to ensure operational independence and avoid conflicts of interest between the functions of supervision pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Directive 2013/36/EU or the other functions of the relevant authority and the functions of resolution authorities pursuant to this Directive, without prejudice to the exchange of information and cooperation obligations as required by paragraph 4.

For the purposes of this paragraph, the Member States or the resolution authority shall adopt and make public any necessary relevant internal rules including rules regarding professional secrecy and information exchanges between the different functional areas.

4. Member States shall require that authorities exercising supervision and resolution functions and persons exercising those functions on their behalf cooperate closely in the preparation, planning and application of resolution decisions, both where the resolution authority and the competent authority are separate entities and where the functions are carried out in the same entity.

Where the resolution authority in a Member State is not the competent ministry it shall inform the competent ministry of the decisions pursuant to this Directive and, unless otherwise laid down in national law, have its approval before implementing decisions that have a direct fiscal impact or systemic implications.

7. Decisions taken by competent authorities, resolution authorities and EBA in accordance with this Directive shall take into account the potential impact of the decision in all the Member States where the institution or the group operate and minimise the negative effects on financial stability and negative economic and social effects in those Member States. Decisions of EBA are subject to Article 38 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

8. Member States shall ensure that each resolution authority has the expertise, resources and operational capacity to apply resolution actions, and is able to exercise their powers with the speed and flexibility that are necessary to achieve the resolution objectives.

9. EBA, in cooperation with competent authorities and resolution authorities, shall develop the required expertise, resources and operational capacity and shall monitor the implementation of paragraph 8, including through periodical peer reviews.

10. Where, in accordance with paragraph 1, a Member State designates more than one authority to apply the resolution tools and exercise the resolution powers, it shall provide a fully reasoned notification to EBA and the Commission for doing so and shall allocate functions and responsibilities clearly between those authorities, ensure adequate coordination between them and designate a single authority as a contact authority for the purposes of cooperation and coordination with the relevant authorities of other Member States.

11. Member States shall inform EBA of the national authority or authorities designated as resolution authorities and the contact authority and, where relevant, their specific functions and responsibilities. EBA shall publish the list of those resolution authorities and contact authorities.

12. Without prejudice to Article 85, Member States may limit the liability of the resolution authority, the competent authority and their respective staff in accordance with national law for acts and omissions in the course of discharging their functions under this Directive.

CHAPTER I

Recovery and resolution planning







Section 1

General provisions

Article 4

Simplified obligations for certain institutions

1. Having regard to the impact that the failure of the institution could have, due to the nature of its business, its shareholding structure, its legal form, its risk profile, size and legal status, its interconnectedness to other institutions or to the financial system in general, the scope and the complexity of its activities, its membership of an IPS or other cooperative mutual solidarity systems as referred to in Article 113(7) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and any exercise of investment services or activities as defined in point (2) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, and whether its failure and subsequent winding up under normal insolvency proceedings would be likely to have a significant negative effect on financial markets, on other institutions, on funding conditions, or on the wider economy, Member States shall ensure that competent and resolution authorities determine: (a) the contents and details of recovery and resolution plans provided for in Articles 5 to 12; (b) the date by which the first recovery and resolution plans are to be drawn up and the frequency for updating recovery and resolution plans which may be lower than that provided for in Article 5(2), Article 7(5), Article 10(6) and Article 13(3); (c) the contents and details of the information required from institutions as provided for in Article 5(5), Article 11(1) and Article 12(2) and in Sections A and B of the Annex; (d) the level of detail for the assessment of resolvability provided for in Articles 15 and 16, and Section C of the Annex.

2. Competent authorities and, where relevant, resolution authorities shall make the assessment referred to in paragraph 1 after consulting, where appropriate, the national macroprudential authority.

3. Member States shall ensure that where simplified obligations are applied the competent authorities and, where relevant, resolution authorities can impose full, unsimplified obligations at any time.

4. Member States shall ensure that the application of simplified obligations shall not, per se, affect the competent authority’s and, where relevant, the resolution authority’s powers to take a crisis prevention measure or a crisis management measure.

5. EBA shall, by 3 July 2015, issue guidelines in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 to specify the criteria referred to in paragraph 1, for assessing, in accordance with that paragraph, the impact of an institution’s failure on financial markets, on other institutions and on funding conditions.

6. Taking into account, where appropriate, experience acquired in the application of the guidelines referred to in paragraph 5, EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the criteria referred to in paragraph 1, for assessing, in accordance with that paragraph, the impact of an institution’s failure on financial markets, on other institutions and on funding conditions.

EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 3 July 2017.

Power is conferred on the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

7. Competent authorities and resolution authorities shall inform EBA of the way they have applied paragraphs 1, 8, 9 and 10 to institutions in their jurisdiction. EBA shall submit a report to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the Commission by 31 December 2017 on the implementation of paragraphs 1, 8, 9 and 10. In particular, that report shall identify any divergences regarding the implementation at national level of paragraphs 1, 8,9 and 10.

8. Subject to paragraphs 9 and 10, Member States shall ensure that competent authorities and, where relevant, resolution authorities may waive the application of: (a) the requirements of Sections 2 and 3 of this Chapter to institutions affiliated to a central body and wholly or partially exempted from prudential requirements in national law in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013; (b) the requirements of Section 2 to institutions which are members of an IPS.

9. Where a waiver pursuant to paragraph 8 is granted, Member States shall: (a) apply the requirements of Sections 2 and 3 of this Chapter on a consolidated basis to the central body and institutions affiliated to it within the meaning of Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013; (b) require the IPS to fulfil the requirements of Section 2 in cooperation with each of its waived members.

For that purpose, any reference in Sections 2 and 3 of this Chapter to a group shall include a central body and institutions affiliated to it within the meaning of Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and their subsidiaries, and any reference to parent undertakings or institutions that are subject to consolidated supervision pursuant to Article 111 of Directive 2013/36/EU shall include the central body.

10. Institutions subject to direct supervision by the European Central Bank pursuant to Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 or constituting a significant share in the financial system of a Member State shall draw up their own recovery plans in accordance with Section 2 of this Chapter and shall be the subject of individual resolution plans in accordance with Section 3.

For the purposes of this paragraph, the operations of an institution shall be considered to constitute a significant share of that Member State’s financial system if any of the following conditions are met:

(a) the total value of its assets exceeds EUR 30 000 000 000 ; or

(b) the ratio of its total assets over the GDP of the Member State of establishment exceeds 20 %, unless the total value of its assets is below EUR 5 000 000 000 .

11. EBA shall develop draft implementing technical standards to specify uniform formats, templates and definitions for the identification and transmission of information by competent authorities and resolution authorities to EBA for the purposes of paragraph 7, subject to the principle of proportionality.

EBA shall submit those draft implementing technical standards to the Commission by 3 July 2015.

Power is conferred on the Commission to adopt the implementing technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.







Section 2

Recovery planning

Article 5

Recovery plans

1. Member States shall ensure that each institution, that is not part of a group subject to consolidated supervision pursuant to Articles 111 and 112 of Directive 2013/36/EU, draws up and maintains a recovery plan providing for measures to be taken by the institution to restore its financial position following a significant deterioration of its financial situation. Recovery plans shall be considered to be a governance arrangement within the meaning of Article 74 of Directive 2013/36/EU.

2. Competent authorities shall ensure that the institutions update their recovery plans at least annually or after a change to the legal or organisational structure of the institution, its business or its financial situation, which could have a material effect on, or necessitates a change to, the recovery plan. Competent authorities may require institutions to update their recovery plans more frequently.

3. Recovery plans shall not assume any access to or receipt of extraordinary public financial support.

4. Recovery plans shall include, where applicable, an analysis of how and when an institution may apply, in the conditions addressed by the plan, for the use of central bank facilities and identify those assets which would be expected to qualify as collateral.

5. Without prejudice to Article 4, Member States shall ensure that the recovery plans include the information listed in Section A of the Annex. Member States may require that additional information is included in the recovery plans.

Recovery plans shall also include possible measures which could be taken by the institution where the conditions for early intervention under Article 27 are met.

6. Member States shall require that recovery plans include appropriate conditions and procedures to ensure the timely implementation of recovery actions as well as a wide range of recovery options. Member States shall require that recovery plans contemplate a range of scenarios of severe macroeconomic and financial stress relevant to the institution’s specific conditions including system-wide events and stress specific to individual legal persons and to groups.

7. EBA, in close cooperation with the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), shall, by 3 July 2015, issue guidelines in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 to specify further the range of scenarios to be used for the purposes of paragraph 6 of this Article.

8. Member States may provide that competent authorities have the power to require an institution to maintain detailed records of financial contracts to which the institution concerned is a party.

9. The management body of the institution referred to in paragraph 1 shall assess and approve the recovery plan before submitting it to the competent authority.

10. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards further specifying, without prejudice to Article 4, the information to be contained in the recovery plan referred to in paragraph 5 of this Article.

EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 3 July 2015.

Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Article 6

Assessment of recovery plans

1. Member States shall require institutions that are required to draw up recovery plans under Article 5(1) and Article 7(1) to submit those recovery plans to the competent authority for review. Member States shall require institutions to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the competent authority that those plans meet the criteria of paragraph 2.

2. The competent authorities shall, within six months of the submission of each plan, and after consulting the competent authorities of the Member States where significant branches are located insofar as is relevant to that branch, review it and assess the extent to which it satisfies the requirements laid down in Article 5 and the following criteria: (a) the implementation of the arrangements proposed in the plan is reasonably likely to maintain or restore the viability and financial position of the institution or of the group, taking into account the preparatory measures that the institution has taken or has planned to take; (b) the plan and specific options within the plan are reasonably likely to be implemented quickly and effectively in situations of financial stress and avoiding to the maximum extent possible any significant adverse effect on the financial system, including in scenarios which would lead other institutions to implement recovery plans within the same period.

3. When assessing the appropriateness of the recovery plans, the competent authority shall take into consideration the appropriateness of the institution’s capital and funding structure to the level of complexity of the organisational structure and the risk profile of the institution.

4. The competent authority shall provide the recovery plan to the resolution authority. The resolution authority may examine the recovery plan with a view to identifying any actions in the recovery plan which may adversely impact the resolvability of the institution and make recommendations to the competent authority with regard to those matters.

5. Where the competent authority assesses that there are material deficiencies in the recovery plan, or material impediments to its implementation, it shall notify the institution or the parent undertaking of the group of its assessment and require the institution to submit, within two months, extendable with the authorities’ approval by one month, a revised plan demonstrating how those deficiencies or impediments are addressed.

Before requiring an institution to resubmit a recovery plan the competent authority shall give the institution the opportunity to state its opinion on that requirement.

Where the competent authority does not consider the deficiencies and impediments to have been adequately addressed by the revised plan, it may direct the institution to make specific changes to the plan.

6. If the institution fails to submit a revised recovery plan, or if the competent authority determines that the revised recovery plan does not adequately remedy the deficiencies or potential impediments identified in its original assessment, and it is not possible to adequately remedy the deficiencies or impediments through a direction to make specific changes to the plan, the competent authority shall require the institution to identify within a reasonable timeframe changes it can make to its business in order to address the deficiencies in or impediments to the implementation of the recovery plan.

If the institution fails to identify such changes within the timeframe set by the competent authority, or if the competent authority assesses that the actions proposed by the institution would not adequately address the deficiencies or impediments, the competent authority may direct the institution to take any measures it considers to be necessary and proportionate, taking into account the seriousness of the deficiencies and impediments and the effect of the measures on the institution’s business.

The competent authority may, without prejudice to Article 104 of Directive 2013/36/EU, direct the institution to:

(a) reduce the risk profile of the institution, including liquidity risk;

(b) enable timely recapitalisation measures;

(c) review the institution’s strategy and structure;

(d) make changes to the funding strategy so as to improve the resilience of the core business lines and critical functions;

(e) make changes to the governance structure of the institution.

The list of measures referred to in this paragraph does not preclude Member States from authorising competent authorities to take additional measures under national law.

7. When the competent authority requires an institution to take measures according to paragraph 6, its decision on the measures shall be reasoned and proportionate.

The decision shall be notified in writing to the institution and subject to a right of appeal.

8. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards specifying the minimum criteria that the competent authority is to assess for the purposes of the assessment of paragraph 2 of this Article and of Article 8(1).

EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 3 July 2015.

Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Article 7

Group recovery plans

1. Member States shall ensure that Union parent undertakings draw up and submit to the consolidating supervisor a group recovery plan. Group recovery plans shall consist of a recovery plan for the group headed by the Union parent undertaking as a whole. The group recovery plan shall identify measures that may be required to be implemented at the level of the Union parent undertaking and each individual subsidiary.

2. In accordance with Article 8, competent authorities may require subsidiaries to draw up and submit recovery plans on an individual basis.

3. The consolidating supervisor shall, provided that the confidentiality requirements laid down in this Directive are in place, transmit the group recovery plans to: (a) the relevant competent authorities referred to in Articles 115 and 116 of Directive 2013/36/EU; (b) the competent authorities of the Member States where significant branches are located insofar as is relevant to that branch; (c) the group- level resolution authority; and (d) the resolution authorities of subsidiaries.

4. The group recovery plan shall aim to achieve the stabilisation of the group as a whole, or any institution of the group, when it is in a situation of stress so as to address or remove the causes of the distress and restore the financial position of the group or the institution in question, at the same time taking into account the financial position of other group entities.

The group recovery plan shall include arrangements to ensure the coordination and consistency of measures to be taken at the level of the Union parent undertaking, at the level of the entities referred to in points (c) and (d) of Article 1(1) as well as measures to be taken at the level of subsidiaries and, where applicable, in accordance with Directive 2013/36/EU at the level of significant branches.

5. The group recovery plan, and any plan drawn up for an individual subsidiary, shall include the elements specified in Article 5. Those plans shall include, where applicable, arrangements for intra-group financial support adopted pursuant to an agreement for intra-group financial support that has been concluded in accordance with Chapter III.

6. Group recovery plans shall include a range of recovery options setting out actions to address those scenarios provided for in Article 5(6).

For each of the scenarios, the group recovery plan shall identify whether there are obstacles to the implementation of recovery measures within the group, including at the level of individual entities covered by the plan, and whether there are substantial practical or legal impediments to the prompt transfer of own funds or the repayment of liabilities or assets within the group.

7. The management body of the entity drawing up the group recovery plan pursuant to paragraph 1 shall assess and approve the group recovery plan before submitting it to the consolidating supervisor.

Article 8

Assessment of group recovery plans

1. The consolidating supervisor shall, together with the competent authorities of subsidiaries, after consulting the competent authorities referred to in Article 116 of Directive 2013/36/EU and with the competent authorities of significant branches insofar as is relevant to the significant branch, review the group recovery plan and assess the extent to which it satisfies the requirements and criteria laid down in Articles 6 and 7. That assessment shall be made in accordance with the procedure established in Article 6 and with this Article and shall take into account the potential impact of the recovery measures on financial stability in all the Member States where the group operates.

2. The consolidating supervisor and the competent authorities of subsidiaries shall endeavour to reach a joint decision on: (a) the review and assessment of the group recovery plan; (b) whether a recovery plan on an individual basis shall be drawn up for institutions that are part of the group; and (c) the application of the measures referred to in Article 6(5) and (6).

The parties shall endeavour to reach a joint decision within four months of the date of the transmission by the consolidating supervisor of the group recovery plan in accordance with Article 7(3).

EBA may, at the request of a competent authority, assist the competent authorities in reaching a joint decision in accordance with Article 31(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

3. In the absence of a joint decision between the competent authorities, within four months of the date of transmission, on the review and assessment of the group recovery plan or on any measures the Union parent undertaking is required to take in accordance with Article 6(5) and (6), the consolidating supervisor shall make its own decision with regard to those matters. The consolidating supervisor shall make its decision having taken into account the views and reservations of the other competent authorities expressed during the four-month period. The consolidating supervisor shall notify the decision to the Union parent undertaking and to the other competent authorities.

If, at the end of that four-month period, any of the competent authorities referred to in paragraph 2 has referred a matter mentioned in paragraph 7 to EBA in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, the consolidating supervisor shall defer its decision and await any decision that EBA may take in accordance with Article 19(3) of that Regulation, and shall take its decision in accordance with the decision of EBA. The four-month period shall be deemed to be the conciliation period within the meaning of the Regulation. EBA shall take its decision within one month. The matter shall not be referred to EBA after the end of the four-month period or after a joint decision has been reached. In the absence of an EBA decision within one month, the decision of the consolidating supervisor shall apply.

4. In the absence of a joint decision between the competent authorities within four months of the date of transmission on: (a) whether a recovery plan on an individual basis is to be drawn up for the institutions under its jurisdiction; or (b) the application at subsidiary level of the measures referred to in Article 6(5) and (6); each competent authority shall make its own decision on that matter.

If, at the end of the four-month period, any of the competent authorities concerned has referred a matter mentioned in paragraph 7 to EBA in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, the competent authority of the subsidiary shall defer its decision and await any decision that EBA may take in accordance with Article 19(3) of that Regulation, and shall take its decision in accordance with the decision of EBA. The four-month period shall be deemed to be the conciliation period within the meaning of that Regulation. EBA shall take its decision within one month. The matter shall not be referred to EBA after the end of the four-month period or after a joint decision has been reached. In the absence of an EBA decision within one month, the decision of the competent authority responsible for the subsidiary at an individual level shall apply.

5. The other competent authorities which do not disagree under paragraph 4 may reach a joint decision on a group recovery plan covering group entities under their jurisdictions.

6. The joint decision referred to in paragraph 2 or 5 and the decisions taken by the competent authorities in the absence of a joint decision referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be recognised as conclusive and applied by the competent authorities in the Member States concerned.

7. Upon request of a competent authority in accordance with paragraph 3 or 4, EBA may only assist the competent authorities in reaching an agreement in accordance with Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 in relation to the assessment of recovery plans and implementation of the measures of point (a), (b) and (d) of Article 6(6).

Article 9

Recovery Plan Indicators

1. For the purpose of Articles 5 to 8, competent authorities shall require that each recovery plan includes a framework of indicators established by the institution which identifies the points at which appropriate actions referred to in the plan may be taken. Such indicators shall be agreed by competent authorities when making the assessment of recovery plans in accordance with Articles 6 and 8. The indicators may be of a qualitative or quantitative nature relating to the institution’s financial position and shall be capable of being monitored easily. Competent authorities shall ensure that institutions put in place appropriate arrangements for the regular monitoring of the indicators.

Notwithstanding the first subparagraph, an institution may:

(a) take action under its recovery plan where the relevant indicator has not been met, but where the management body of the institution considers it to be appropriate in the circumstances; or

(b) refrain from taking such an action where the management body of the institution does not consider it to be appropriate in the circumstances of the situation.

A decision to take an action referred to in the recovery plan or a decision to refrain from taking such an action shall be notified to the competent authority without delay.

2. EBA shall, by 3 July 2015, issue guidelines in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 to specify the minimum list of qualitative and quantitative indicators as referred to in paragraph 1.

Article 10

Resolution plans

1. The resolution authority, after consulting the competent authority and after consulting the resolution authorities of the jurisdictions in which any significant branches are located insofar as is relevant to the significant branch shall draw up a resolution plan for each institution that is not part of a group subject to consolidated supervision pursuant to Articles 111 and 112 of Directive 2013/36/EU. The resolution plan shall provide for the resolution actions which the resolution authority may take where the institution meets the conditions for resolution. Information referred to paragraph 7(a) shall be disclosed to the institution concerned.

2. When drawing up the resolution plan, the resolution authority shall identify any material impediments to resolvability and, where necessary and proportionate, outline relevant actions for how those impediments could be addressed, according to Chapter II of this Title.

The resolution plan shall not assume any of the following: (a) any extraordinary public financial support besides the use of the financing arrangements established in accordance with Article 100; (b) any central bank emergency liquidity assistance; or (c) any central bank liquidity assistance provided under non-standard collateralisation, tenor and interest rate terms.

4. The resolution plan shall include an analysis of how and when an institution may apply, in the conditions addressed by the plan, for the use of central bank facilities and shall identify those assets which would be expected to qualify as collateral.

5. Resolution authorities may require institutions to assist them in the drawing up and updating of the plans.

6. Resolution plans shall be reviewed, and where appropriate updated, at least annually and after any material changes to the legal or organisational structure of the institution or to its business or its financial position that could have a material effect on the effectiveness of the plan or otherwise necessitates a revision of the resolution plan.

For the purpose of the revision or update of the resolution plans referred to in the first subparagraph, the institutions and the competent authorities shall promptly communicate to the resolution authorities any change that necessitates such a revision or update.

CHAPTER II

Resolvability

Article 15

Assessment of resolvability for institutions

1. Member States shall ensure that, after the resolution authority has consulted the competent authority and the resolution authorities of the jurisdictions in which significant branches are located insofar as is relevant to the significant branch, it assesses the extent to which an institution which is not part of a group is resolvable without the assumption of any of the following: (a) any extraordinary public financial support besides the use of the financing arrangements established in accordance with Article 100; (b) any central bank emergency liquidity assistance; (c) any central bank liquidity assistance provided under non-standard collateralisation, tenor and interest rate terms.

An institution shall be deemed to be resolvable if it is feasible and credible for the resolution authority to either liquidate it under normal insolvency proceedings or to resolve it by applying the different resolution tools and powers to the institution while avoiding to the maximum extent possible any significant adverse effect on the financial system, including in circumstances of broader financial instability or system-wide events, of the Member State in which the institution is established, or other Member States or the Union and with a view to ensuring the continuity of critical functions carried out by the institution. The resolution authorities shall notify EBA in a timely manner whenever an institution is deemed not to be resolvable.

2. For the purposes of the assessment of resolvability referred to in paragraph 1, the resolution authority shall, as a minimum, examine the matters specified in Section C of the Annex.

3. The resolvability assessment under this Article shall be made by the resolution authority at the same time as and for the purposes of the drawing up and updating of the resolution plan in accordance with Article 10.

4. EBA, after consulting the ESRB, shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the matters and criteria for the assessment of the resolvability of institutions or groups provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article and in Article 16.

EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 3 July 2015.

Power is conferred on the Commission to adopt the draft regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Article 16

Assessment of resolvability for groups

1. Member States shall ensure that group-level resolution authorities, together with the resolution authorities of subsidiaries, after consulting the consolidating supervisor and the competent authorities of such subsidiaries, and the resolution authorities of the jurisdictions in which significant branches are located insofar as is relevant to the significant branch, assess the extent to which groups are resolvable without the assumption of any of the following: (a) any extraordinary public financial support besides the use of the financing arrangements established in accordance with Article 100; (b) any central bank emergency liquidity assistance; (c) any central bank liquidity assistance provided under non-standard collateralisation, tenor and interest rate terms.

Measfar go bhfuil grúpa inréitithe má bhíonn sé indéanta agus inchreidte ag na húdaráis réitigh grúpeintitis a fhoirceannadh faoi ghnáthimeachtaí dócmhainneachta nó an grúpa sin a réiteach trí uirlisí réitigh a fheidhmiú, agus cumhachtaí réitigh a fheidhmiú i dtaca le heintitis réitigh an ghrúpeintitis sin agus a mhéid is mó is féidir, aon iarmhairtí díobhálacha suntasacha a sheachaint i gcórais airgeadais na mBallstát ina bhfuil grúpeintitis nó brainsí lonnaithe, nó na mBallstát eile, nó an Aontais, lena n-áirítear éagobhsaíocht airgeadais nó teagmhais shistéamacha, chun a áirithiú go leanfar d'fheidhmeanna criticiúla a dhéanann na grúpeintitis sin, i gcás inar féidir iad a dheighilt go héasca agus go tráthúil nó ar bhealach eile.

Tabharfaidh údaráis réitigh leibhéal an ghrúpa fógra do ÚBE ar bhealach tráthúil cibé uair a meastar nach bhfuil grúpa inréitithe.

▼B

The assessment of group resolvability shall be taken into consideration by the resolution colleges referred to in Article 88.

2. For the purposes of the assessment of group resolvability, resolution authorities shall, as a minimum, examine the matters specified in Section C of the Annex.

3. The assessment of group resolvability under this Article shall be made at the same time as, and for the purposes of drawing up and updating of the group resolution plans in accordance with Article 12. The assessment shall be made under the decision-making procedure laid down in Article 13.

▼M3

4. Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go ndéanfaidh na húdaráis dá dtagraítear i mír 1, má bhíonn níos mó ná grúpa réitigh amháin i ngrúpa, inréititheacht gach grúpa réitigh a mheasúnú i gcomhréir leis an Airteagal seo.

Déanfar an measúnú dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír den mhír seo sa bhreis ar an measúnú ar inréititheacht an ghrúpa ina iomláine agus déanfar sin sa nós imeachta cinnteoireachta a leagtar síos in Airteagal 13.

Airteagal 16a

An chumhacht roinnt dáiltí a thoirmeasc

1. Más rud é go mbeidh eintiteas i gcás ina mbeidh an ceanglas maoláin chomhcheangailte á chomhlíonadh aige agus an ceanglas sin á mheas sa bhreis ar gach ceann de na ceanglais dá dtagraítear i bpointí (a), (b) agus (c) d'Airteagal 141a(1) den Treoir sin, ach go mainníonn sé an ceanglas maoláin chomhcheangailte sin a chomhlíonadh nuair a dhéantar é a mheas sa bhreis ar na ceanglais dá dtagraítear in Airteagail 45c agus 45d den Treoir seo, agus é sin á ríomh i gcomhréir le pointe (a) d'Airteagal 45(2) den Treoir seo, beidh de chumhacht ag údarás réitigh, i gcomhréir le mír 2 agus 3 den Airteagal seo, an eintitis sin toirmeasc a chur ar eintiteas,, níos mó ná an t-uasmhéid indáilte a bhaineann leis an íoscheanglas le haghaidh cistí dílse agus dliteanas incháilithe ('M-MDA'), arna ríomh i gcomhréir le mír 4 den Airteagal seo, a dháileadh, trí cheann ar bith de na gníomhaíochtaí a leanas: (a) dáileachán a dhéanamh i ndáil le caipiteal Gnáthchothromas Leibhéal 1; (b) oibleagáid a chruthú chun luach saothair inathraitheach nó sochair phinsin lánroghnacha a íoc nó luach saothair inathraitheach a íoc más rud é gur cruthaíodh an oibleagáid chun íoc tráth ar mhainnigh an t-eintiteas an ceanglas maoláin chomhcheangailte a chomhlíonadh; nó (c) íocaíochtaí a dhéanamh ar ionstraimí Breise Leibhéal 1.

I gcás ina mbeidh eintiteas sa chás dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír, tabharfaidh sé fógra láithreach don údarás réitigh maidir leis an gcliseadh sin.

2. Sa chás dá dtagraítear i mír 1, measúnóidh údarás réitigh an eintitis, tar éis dó dul i gcomhairle leis an údarás inniúil, gan mhoill neamhriachtanach, cibé an ndéanfaidh sé an chumhacht dá dtagraítear i mír 1 a fheidhmiú, agus na gnéithe seo a leanas á gcur san áireamh: (a) cúis na mainneachtana, fad agus mhéid na mainneachtana sin agus an tionchar atá aici ar inréititheacht; (b) dul chun cinn staid airgeadais an eintitis agus an dóchúlacht go bhféadfaidh sé, amach anseo, an coinníoll dá dtagraítear i bpointe (a) d'Airteagal 32(1) a chomhlíonadh; (c) an t-ionchas go mbeidh an t-eintiteas in ann a áirithiú go gcomhlíonfar na gceanglas dá dtagraítear i mír 1 laistigh de thréimhse ama réasúnta; (d) i gcás nach mbeidh an t-eintitis in ann dliteanais a chur in ionad dliteanas nach gcomhlíonann na critéir incháilitheachta ná aibíochta a leagtar síos in Airteagal 72b agus 72c de Rialachán (AE) Uimh. 575/2013, nó in Airteagal 45b nó 45f(2) den Treoir seo a thuilleadh, más rud é go bhfuil an neamhábaltacht sin neamhghnách nó más toradh ar shuaitheadh ar fud an mhargaidh í; (e) arb é feidhmiú na cumhachta dá dtagraítear i mír 1 an modh is leordhóthanaí agus is comhréirí chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar chás an eintitis bunaithe, ag cur san áireamh go háirithe an tionchar a d'fhéadfadh a bheith aige ar choinníollacha maoinithe agus ar inréititheacht an eintitis sin.

Déanfaidh an t-údarás réitigh a mheasúnú an athuair le féachaint faoin gcumhacht dá dtagraítear i mír 1 a fheidhmiú gach mí ar a a fhad is a leanann an t-eintiteas de bheith sa chás dá dtagraítear i mír 1.

3. Má chinneann an t-údarás réitigh go bhfuil an t-eintiteas fós sa chás dá dtagraítear i mír 1 naoi mhí tar éis fógra faoi chás mar sin a fháil ón eintiteas, déanfaidh an t-údarás réitigh, tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an údarás inniúil, an chumhacht dá dtagraítear i mír 1 a fheidhmiú ach amháin má chinneann an t-údarás réitigh, tar éis dó measúnú a dhéanamh, go gcomhlíontar dhá cheann de na coinníollacha seo a leanas ar a laghad: (a) tarlaíonn an cliseadh mar gheall ar shuaitheadh tromchúiseach i bhfeidhmiú na margaí airgeadais, as a n-eascraíonn strus forleathan sa mhargadh airgeadais in an-chuid deighleoga de na margaí airgeadais; (b) an suaitheadh dá dtagraítear i bpointe (i), ní hamháin go mbíonn luaineacht mhéadaithe i bpraghas ionstraimí cistí dílse agus ionstraimí dliteanas incháilithe an eintitis nó costais bhreise don eintiteas mar gheall air, ach chomh maith leis sin dúntar na margaí go hiomlán nó go páirteach, rud a chuireann cosc ar an eintiteas ionstraimí cistí dílse agus ionstraimí dliteanas incháilithe a eisiúint ar na margaí sin; (c) feictear go mbaineann dúnadh na margaí dá dtagraítear i bpointe (b) ní hamháin leis an eintitis sin amháin ach le roinnt eintiteas eile freisin; (d) leis an suaitheadh dá dtagraítear i bpointe (a) toirmisctear an t-eintiteas i dtrácht go leor ionstraimí cistí dílse agus ionstraimí dliteanas incháilithe a eisiúint chun an sárú a leigheas; (e) eascraíonn éifeachtaí iarmharta diúltacha as feidhmiú na cumhachta dá dtagraítear i mír 1 do chuid den earnáil baincéireachta, rud a d'fhéadfadh an bonn a bhaint de chobhsaíocht airgeadais.

Nuair a bhíonn an eisceacht dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír i bhfeidhm, tabharfaidh an t-údarás réitigh fógra don údarás inniúil maidir lena chinneadh agus míneoidh sé a mheasúnú i scríbhinn.

Gach mí, déanfaidh an t-údarás réitigh a mheasúnú an athuair i dtaobh an féidir an eisceacht dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír a chur i bhfeidhm.

4. Ríomhfar M-MDA tríd an tsuim arna ríomh i gcomhréir le mír 5 a iolrú faoin bhfachtóir arna chinneadh i gcomhréir le mír 6. Laghdófar M-MDA de réir mhéid ar bith a bhíonn mar thoradh ar cheann ar bith de na gníomhaíochtaí dá dtagraítear i bpointe (a), (b) nó (c) de mhír 1.

5. Beidh sa tsuim atá le hiolrú i gcomhréir le mír 4 na nithe seo a leanas: (a) brabúis eatramhacha ar bith nach n-áirítear ar chaipiteal Ghnáthchothromas Leibhéal 1 de bhun Airteagal 26(2) de Rialachán (AE) Uimh. 575/2013 ar glanbhrabúis iad i ndáil le haon dáileachán brabús nó aon íocaíocht a bhíonn mar thoradh ar aon cheann de na gníomhaíochtaí dá dtagraítear i bpointe (a), i bpointe (b) nó i bpointe (c) de mhír 1 den Airteagal seo; móide (b) aon bhrabúis chinn bhliana nach n-áirítear ar chaipiteal Ghnáthchothromas Leibhéal 1 de bhun Airteagal 26(2) de Rialachán (AE) Uimh. 575/2013 ar glanbhrabúis iad i ndáil le haon dáileachán brabús nó aon íocaíocht a bhíonn mar thoradh ar aon cheann de na gníomhaíochtaí dá dtagraítear i bpointe (a), i bpointe (b) nó i bpointe (c) de mhír 1 den Airteagal seo; lúide (c) méideanna ba iníoctha le cáin dá gcoimeádfaí na hítimí a shonraítear i bpointe (a) agus i bpointe (b) den mhír seo.

1. Tráth a gcinnfidh údarás réitigh – ar dhul i gcomhairle dó leis an údarás inniúil de bhun measúnacht inréititheachta arna dhéanamh i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 15 agus 16, agus ar dhul i gcomhairle dó leis an údarás inniúil – go bhfuil baic shubstaintiúla roimh inréiteacht an eintitis sin, áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go gcuirfidh an t-údarás réitigh sin an cinneadh sin in iúl i scríbhinn don eintiteas a bheidh i gceist, don údarás inniúil, agus do na húdaráis réitigh sna ndlínsí ina bhfuil brainsí suntasacha suite.

2. The requirement for resolution authorities to draw up resolution plans and for the relevant resolution authorities to reach a joint decision on group resolution plans in Article 10(1) and Article 13(4) respectively shall be suspended following the notification referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article until the measures to remove the substantive impediments to resolvability have been accepted by the resolution authority pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Article or decided pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Article.

3. Laistigh de cheithre mhí tar éis an dáta a bhfaighfear fógra arna thabhairt i gcomhréir le mír 1, molfaidh an t-eintiteas don údarás réitigh bearta a d'fhéadfaí a ghlacadh chun dul i ngleic leis na baic a shainaithnítear san fhógra nó chun deireadh a chur leo.

Tráth nach déanaí ná dhá sheachtain ón dáta a bhfaighfear fógra arna thabhairt i gcomhréir le mír 1 den Airteagal seo, molfaidh an t-eintiteas don údarás réitigh bearta féideartha maille le hamlíne lena gcur chun feidhme d'fhonn a áirithiú go gcloíonn an t-eintiteas le hAirteagal 45e nó Airteagal 45f den Treoir seo agus leis an gceanglas maoláin chomhceangailte, i gcás gur i ngeall ar cheann díobh seo a leanas atá bac roimh inréititheacht an eintitis sin:

(a) sásaíonn an t-eintiteas an ceanglas maoláin chomhcheangailte nuair a mheastar é anuas ar gach ceann de na ceanglais dá dtagraítear i bpointí (a), (b) agus (c) d'Airteagal 141a(1) de Threoir 2013/36/AE, ach ní shásaíonn sé an ceanglas maoláin chomhcheangailte nuair a mheastar é anuas ar na ceanglais dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 45c agus 45d den Treoir seo arna ríomh i gcomhréir le pointe (a) d'Airteagal 45(2) den Treoir seo; nó

(b) ní chomhlíonann an t-eintiteas na ceanglais dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 92a agus Airteagal 494 de Rialachán (AE) Uimh. 575/2013 ná na ceanglais dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 45c agus 45d den Treoir seo.

Cuirfear na cúiseanna atá leis an mbac substainteach san áireamh san amlíne faoina gcuirfear chun feidhme na bearta arna moladh sa dara fomhír.

Déanfaidh an t-údarás réitigh, ar dhul i gcomhairle dó leis an údarás inniúil, measúnú a dhéanamh an dtugtar aghaidh go héifeachtach, leis na bearta a mholtar sa chéad fhomhír agus sa dara fomhír, ar an mbac substainteach atá i gceist nó an gcuirtear deireadh leis.

4. I gcás ina chinneann an t-údarás réitigh nach ndéanann na bearta, arna moladh ag an eintiteas i gcomhréir le mír 3, na baic atá i gceist a laghdú nó a bhaint go leordhóthanach, iarrfaidh sé ar an eintiteas go díreach nó go hindíreach tríd an údarás inniúil, bearta malartacha a ghlacadh lena bhféadfaí an cuspóir sin a bhaint amach, agus cuirfidh sé na bearta sin in iúl i scríbhinn don eintiteas, agus molfaidh an t-eintiteas laistigh de mhí plean faoina gcomhlíonfar na bearta sin.

Agus bearta malartacha á sainaithint aige, taispeánfaidh an t-údarás réitigh conas nach mbeadh na bearta a mhol an t-eintiteas in ann na baic ar inréititheacht a bhaint agus conas atá na bearta malartacha atá á moladh comhréireach chun iad a bhaint. Cuirfidh an t-údarás réitigh san áireamh an bhagairt atá ann don chobhsaíocht airgeadais sna baic sin roimh an inréititheacht mar aon le héifeacht na mbeart ar chúrsaí gnó an eintitis gona chobhsaíocht agus a chumas rannchuidiú leis an ngeilleagar.
