Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The relevant authorities shall assume the responsibility for excluding Members from Institutional protection schemes, if these have a higher risk profile compared to the others and therefore do not meet the conditions of zero weighting defined in Article 80(8) of Directive 2006/48/EC. In this case the respective institution shall become automatically a member of a DGS on a statutory basis.

Amendment 120 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) It is indispensable that the available financial means of Deposit Guarantee Schemes amount to a certain target level and that extraordinary contributions may be collected. The target level in this context shall reflect the failure of deposits over the last ten years in relation to the covered deposits within a statutory, contractual or institutional protection scheme as referred to in Article 80(8) of Directive 2006/48/EC. On this basis national authorities under scrutiny of the EBA shall have the power to adjust the concrete percentage of a target level to cover a changed risk. Where necessary, Deposit Guarantee Schemes should have adequate alternative funding arrangements in place to enable them to obtain short term funding to meet claims made against them.
