Amendment 146 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) A regime is, therefore, needed to provide authorities with thea credible set of tools to intervene sufficiently early and quickly in an unsound or failing credit institution so as to ensure the continuity of the credit institution’s essential financial and economic functions, while minimizing the impact of an institution’s failure on the financial system and ensuring that shareholders and creditors bear appropriate losseappropriate losses are imposed on the shareholders and creditors who bore the risk of investing in these institutions. New powers should enable authorities to maintain uninterrupted access to deposits and payment transactions, sell viable portions of the firm where appropriate, and apportion losses in a manner that is fair and predictable. Those objectives should ensure that taxpayers are no longer liable for failing credit institutions, and help avoid destabilizing financial markets and minimize the costs for taxpayers..

Amendment 158 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
(11) In order to ensure the required speed of action, to guarantee independence from economic actors and to avoid conflicts of interest, Member States should appoint public administrative authorities endowed with administrative and financial independence to perform the functions and tasks in relation to resolution pursuant to this Directive. Member States should ensure that appropriate resources are allocated to those resolution authorities. The designation of public authorities should not exclude delegation under the responsibility of the resolution authority. However, it is not necessary to prescribe the exact authority that Member States should appoint as the resolution authority. While harmonisation of that aspect may facilitate coordination, it would also considerably interfere with the constitutional and administrative systems of Member States. A sufficient degree of coordination can still be achieved with a less intrusive requirement: all the national authorities involved in the resolution of institutions should be represented in resolution colleges, where coordination at cross-border or Union level should take place. Member States should, therefore, be free to choose which authorities should be responsible for applying the resolution tools and exercising the powers provided for in this Directive.

Amendment 175 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Resolution planning is an essential component of effective resolution. Authorities should have all the information necessary in order to plan how the essential functions of an institution or of a cross- border group may be isolated from the rest of the business and transferred in order to ensure the preservation and continuance of essential functions. The requirement to prepare a resolution plan should, however, be simplified, reflecting the systemic importance of the institution or group, or even waived, if the failure of a particular institution, due to the nature of its business, its size or its interconnectedness to other institutions or to the financial system in general, is deemed to not have a detrimental effect on financial markets, on other institutions or on funding conditions. Resolution plans shall, where applicable, respect existing collective agreements as well as national and European legal provisions on the involvement of trade unions and workers’ representatives in company restructuring processes.

Amendment 192 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 23
(23) In order to preserve financial stability, it is important that competent authorities be able to remedy the deterioration of an institution’s financial and economic situation before that institution reaches a point at which authorities have no other alternative than to resolve it. To this end, competent authorities should be granted early intervention powers, including the power to replace the management body of an institution with a special managerwhich will consist essentially on the execution of the recovery plan, only including other measures where necessary; this would serve as a means of exerting pressure on the institution in question to take measures to restore its financial soundness and/or to reorganise its business so as to ensure its viability at an early stage. Measures of early intervention include the replacement of the management body of an institution with a special manager, but only where there is a significant deterioration in the financial situation of an institution or where there are serious violations of law, regulations or bylaws or serious administrative irregularities, and other measures foreseen for early intervention are not sufficient to reverse that deterioration, in such terms that, if no action is taken, the resolution authority would in the near future have to determine that the institution is failing or likely to fail. The task of the special manager should be to take all measures necessary and promote solutions in order to redress the financial situation of the institution. The appointment of the special manager should not however derogate from any rights of the shareholders or owners or procedural obligations established under Union or national company law and should respect international obligations of the Union or Member States, relating to investment protection. The early intervention powers should include those already specified under Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions for circumstances other than those considered as early intervention as well as other situations considered necessary to restore the financial soundness of an institution.

Amendment 195 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 24
(24) The resolution framework should provide for timely entry into resolution before a financial institution is balance- sheet insolvent and before all equity has been fully wiped out. Resolution should be initiated when a firm is no longer viable or likely to be no longer viable and other measures have proved insufficient to prevent failure. The fact that an institution does not meet the requirements for authorization should not justify per-se the entry into resolution, especially if the institution is still or likely to be still viable. An institution should be considered as failing or likely to fail, by a determination of the resolution authority in consultation with the competent authority, when it is or is to be in breach of the capital requirements for continuing authorisation because it has incurred or is likely to incur in losses that are to deplete all or substantially all of its own funds, when the assets of the institution are or are to be less than its liabilities, when the institution is or is to be unable to pay its obligations as they fall due, or when the institution requires extraordinary public financial support. The need for emergency liquidity assistance from a central bank should not in itself be a condition that sufficiently demonstrates that an institution is or will be, in the near- term, unable to pay its liabilities as they fall due. In order to preserve financial stability, in particular in case of a systemic liquidity shortage, State guarantees on liquidity facilities provided by central banks or State guarantees on newly issued liabilities should not trigger the resolution framework provided that a number of conditions are met. In particular the State guarantee measures should to be approved under the State aid framework and should not be part of a larger aid package, and the use of the guarantee measures should be strictly limited in time. In both instances, the bank needs to be solvent.

Amendment 197 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 24 a (new)
(24a) In case of resolution of an institution or of a group with cross-border activity, the determination by the resolution authority that the institution is failing or likely to fail as well as any resolution action shall take into account the potential impact of the resolution in all the Member States where the institution or the group operate.

Committee: ECON
Amendment 202 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29
(29) When applying resolutions tools and exercising resolution powers, according to the resolution plan where appropriate and subject to proper justification, resolution authorities should make sure that shareholders and creditors bear an appropriate share of the losses, that the managers are replaced, that the costs of the resolution of the institution are minimised, and that all creditors of an insolvent institution that are of the same class are treated in a similar manner. When the use of the resolution tools involves the granting of State aid, interventions should have to be assessed in accordance with the relevant State aid provisions. State aid may be involved, inter alia, where resolution funds or deposit guarantee funds intervene to assist in the resolution of failing institutions.
2012/12/20
Committee: ECON
Amendment 211 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 35
(35) The resolution tools should be applied before any public sector injection of capital or equivalent extraordinary public financial support to an institution. This, however, should not impede the use, for the purpose of financing resolution, of funds from the deposit guarantee schemes or the resolution funds. In this respect, the use of extraordinary public financial support or resolution funds, including deposit guarantee funds, to assist in the resolution of failing institutions should be assessed in accordance with relevant State aid provisions.

Committee: ECON
Amendment 217 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 45
(45) In order to ensure that resolution authorities have the necessary flexibility to allocate losses to creditors in a range of circumstances, it is appropriate that those authorities be able to apply the bail-in tool both where the objective is to resolve the failing institution as a going concern if there is a realistic prospect that the institution viability may be restored, and where systemically important services are transferred to a bridge institution and the residual part of the institution ceases to operate and is wound down. However, the resolution authorities should only use the bail-in tool when the evaluation of the use of the other resolution tools reveals they are insufficient to restore the viability of the institution.
2012/12/20
Committee: ECON
Amendment 222 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 47
(47) It is not appropriate to apply the bail- in tool to claims in so far as they are secured, collateralised or otherwise guaranteed. However, in order to ensure that the bail-in tool is effective and achieves its objectives, it is desirable that it can be applied to as wide a range of the unsecured liabilities of a failing institution as possible. Nevertheless, it is appropriate to exclude certain kinds of unsecured liability from the scope of application of the bail-in tool. For reasons of public policy and effective resolution, the bail-in tool should not apply to those deposits that are protected under Directive 94/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 1994 on deposit- guarantee schemes, to liabilities to employees of the failing institution or to commercial claims that relate to goods and services necessary for the daily functioning of the institution.

Amendment 223 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 47 a (new)
(47a) Considering the risks of contagion, liabilities arising from interbank money- market operations with an original maturity of less than one month and from derivatives which were entered by the institution to hedge risks are also excluded from bail-in.

Committee: ECON
Amendment 224 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 48
(48) Depositors that hold deposits guaranteed by the deposit guarantee scheme should not be subject to the exercise of the bail-in tool. The deposit guarantee scheme, however, contributes to funding the resolution process to the extent that it would have had to indemnify the depositors. The exercise of the bail-in powers would ensure that depositors continue having access to their deposits which is the main reason why the deposit guarantee schemes have been established. Not foreseeing the involvement of those schemes in such cases would constitute an unfair advantage with respect to the rest of creditors which would be subject to the exercise of the powers by the resolution authorityOnce the protection of depositors is one of the most important objectives of resolution, deposits should not be subject to the exercise of the bail-in tool. The exercise of the bail-in powers would ensure that depositors continue having access to their deposits.

Committee: ECON
Amendment 225 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 48 a (new)
(48a) Additionally, the credits of deposit guarantee schemes are also not susceptible to bail-in, and in case of insolvency proceedings the claims of depositors and of deposit guarantee schemes which were subrogated to the claims of depositors by virtue of payments made to depositors up to the amount of their guaranteed deposits under the scheme are granted a preferential claim so as to have a higher priority ranking over the claims of ordinary unsecured creditors in the event of insolvency of the credit institution.

Committee: ECON
Amendment 235 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 54
(54) It is not necessary to prescribe the exact means through which the resolution authorities should intervene in the insolvent institution. The resolution authorities should have the choice between taking control through a direct intervention in the institution or through executive order. They should decide according to the resolution plan and to the circumstances of the case. It does not appear necessary for efficient cooperation between Member States to impose a single model at this stage.

Amendment 252 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 74
(74) While financing arrangements are set up at national level, they should be mutualised in the context of group resolution. When a resolution action ensures that depositors continue having access to their deposits, Deposit Guarantee Schemes to which an institution under resolution is affiliated should be liable, up to the amount of covered deposits, for the amount of losses that they would have had to bear if the institution had been wound up under normal insolvency proceedings.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 75
(75) In addition to ensuring payout of depositors or the continuous access to covered deposits, Member States should retain the discretion to decide whether deposit guarantee schemes could also be used as arrangements for the financing of other resolution actions. Such flexibility should not be used in a way that would endanger the financing of deposit guarantee schemes or the function of guaranteeing the payout of covered deposits.deleted
