Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5

(5) In order to avoid fragmentation of the internal market for banking, the approach for the output floor should be coherent with the principle of risk aggregation across different entities within the same banking group and the logic of consolidated supervision. At the same time, the output floor should add, the output floor should address risks stemming from internal models in both home and host Member States. In order to ensure that own funds are appropriately distributed and available to protect savings where needed, the output floor requirements should apply at all levels of consolidation, until strong progress is made at Union level on the implementation of a European Deposit Guarantee framework that provides sufficient levels of confidence to host Member States. The EBA shall assess by 31 December 2027 and at least every three years thereafter, the developments in the Union deposit guarantee framework and publish an opinion on the level of progress achieved. Once sufficient progress ris~~ks stemming from internal models in both home and host Member States~~ made at the Union level the Commission may adopt a legislative proposal to amend the level of application of the output floor. The output floor should the~~refore~~n be calculated at the highest level of consolidation in the Union, whereas subsidiaries located in other Member States than the EU parent should calculate, on a sub-consolidated basis, their contribution to the output floor requirement of the entire banking group. That approach ~~should~~would be coherent with the principle of risk aggregation across different entities within the same banking group and the logic of consolidated supervision while avoiding unintended impacts and ensure a fair distribution of the additional capital required by the application of the output floor between group entities in home and host Member States according to their risk profile.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 3 a (new)

Regulation (EU) No 575/2013
Article 7 – paragraph 3a (new)

(3 a) in Article 7, a new paragraph is added: “3a. By 31 December 2026, the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the possibility of allowing for the application of paragraph 1 also to a subsidiary that is subject to authorisation and supervision by a Member State other than the Member State that authorises and supervises the institution which is the parent undertaking. The Commission shall pay particular attention to progress made on completing the banking union, and more particular to improvements made to the banking crisis management and deposit insurance framework which can address potential financial stability concerns resulting from the applying paragraph 1 on a cross-border basis. The Commission shall also consider which additional prudential safeguards and technical modifications could further address any potential financial stability concerns resulting from such application of paragraph 1. In particular, when applying paragraph 1 on a cross-border basis, requiring subsidiaries that benefit from an application of capital requirements in accordance with paragraph 1 to still hold adequate minimum levels of own funds requirements to ensure their resilience, also in distressed situations, could be considered. Competent authorities could define an adequate amount, taking into account the efficiency of group risk management and the effectiveness of the group financial support arrangement in resolution. That report shall, where appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal. In the event that the Commission considers that the conditions to issue a legislative proposal are not met, the review referred to in the first paragraph shall be repeated every two years until such time as the Commission deems it appropriate to publish such a legislative proposal.

(3 d) in Article 8(3), the following points are added: (g) all entities belonging to the single liquidity sub-group have entered into a group financial support agreement as defined in Directive 2014/59/EU, or another group financial support agreement that the competent authorities deem satisfactory, which requires the parent undertaking to provide liquidity support and does not provide for any upper limit to the level of support that can be provided and that would not be revocable at short notice. This group financial support agreement could also be used to satisfy the condition under point (c) of paragraph 1; (h) the liquidity sub-group provides an independent legal opinion to the competent authorities on the enforceability of this group financial support agreement that confirms the absence of any legal impediments to the transfer of liquidity across the entities belonging to the single liquidity sub- group; (i) the single liquidity sub-group is covered by a single group recovery plan that includes recovery plan indicators for each entity of the liquidity sub-group including the parent undertaking that are consistent with the liquidity sub-group’s internal liquidity management policy; (j) the single liquidity sub-group belongs to a banking group which is subject to a group resolution scheme in accordance with Article 92 of Directive 2014/59/EU.
