supplementing Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the circumstances and conditions under which the payment of extraordinary ex post contributions may be partially or entirely deferred, and on the criteria for the determination of the activities, services and operations with regard to critical functions, and for the determination of the business lines and associated services with regard to core business lines

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms and amending Council Directive 82/891/EEC, and Directives 2001/24/EC, 2002/47/EC, 2004/25/EC, 2005/56/EC, 2007/36/EC, 2011/35/EU, 2012/30/EU and 2013/36/EU, and Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010 and (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 2(2), and Article 104(4) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

The deferral of extraordinary ex post contributions, referred to in Article 104 of Directive 2014/59/EU, should be granted by the resolution authority upon an institution's request in order to facilitate the assessment by the resolution authority that that institution meets the conditions for the deferral set out in Article 104(3) of Directive 2014/59/EU. The concerned institution should provide any information deemed necessary by the resolution authority to conduct such assessment. The resolution authority should take into account all information available to the national competent authorities to avoid any duplication of notification requirements.

 

(2)

When assessing the impact of the payment of extraordinary ex post contributions on the solvency or liquidity of the institution, the resolution authority should analyse the impact of the payment on the institution's capital and liquidity position. The analysis should assume a loss on the institution's balance sheet equal to the amount payable at the point in time when it is due and make a projection of the institution's capital ratios following this loss for an appropriate time frame. Moreover, it should assume an outflow of funds equal to the amount payable at the point in time when it is due and should assess the liquidity risk.

 

(3)

Recovery and resolution plans require institutions and resolution authorities to be able to identify and ensure the continuance of critical functions of institutions or groups.

 

(4)

The continuity of critical functions of the institution under resolution is one of the main resolution objectives. It aims at safeguarding financial stability and the real economy and therefore plays a key role in the recovery and resolution planning process. Critical functions can include deposit taking, lending and loan services, payment, clearing, custody and settlement services, wholesale funding markets activities, and capital markets and investments activities.

 

(5)

Critical functions of an institution or group are set out in its recovery plan. The recovery plan should be assessed by the resolution authority and form the basis of the resolution plan. The resolution authority should conduct its own assessment of critical functions when establishing the resolution plan and should demonstrate how critical functions and core business lines could be legally and economically separated from other functions so as to ensure continuity upon the failure of the institution.

 

(6)

When assessing the resolvability of an institution, resolution authorities should take into...
