(5) In June 2015, the Five Presidents Report on Completing Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union pointed out that a single banking system can only be truly single if confidence in the safety of bank deposits is the same irrespective of the Member State in which a bank operates. This requires single bank supervision, single bank resolution to the necessity to have an effective EU-wide system of bank supervision, bank resolution and bank deposit guarantee schemes to reduce existing vulnerabilities, in particular with regard to the sovereign- bank-nexus, and to increase the resilience of the European banking sector against future crises. This system should be designed in such a way that moral hazard is prevented. Notwithstand single deposit insurance. T the co- legislators' prerogative, the Five Presidents report therefore proposed to complete the Banking Union byand to establishing a European Deposit Insurance Scheme (EDIS) for national guarantee schemes, the third pillar of a fully-fledgedthe Banking Union alongside bank supervision and resolution. Concrete steps in that direction shcould alreadonly be taken as a priorityfter effective risk reduction has been advanced, with a re-insurance system at the European level for the national deposit guarantee schemes as a first step towards a fully mutualised approach. The scope of this reinsurance system should coincide with that of the SSM.

(17) EDIS shcould progressively evolve from a reinsurance scheme into an fully mutualised co-insurance scheme over a number of years. In the context of efforts to deepen the EMU, together with the work on the establishment of bridge- financing arrangements for the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) and on developing a common fiscal backstop, this step is necessary, if and when the conditions set out in this regulation have been fully met. In the context of efforts to deepen the EMU and on developing a common fiscally neutral backstop for the Single Resolution Fund, this step could to some extent contribute to reduceing the bank/sovereign links in individual Member States by means of steps towards risk sharing among all the Member States in the Banking Union, and therebyand to reinforceing the Banking Union in achieving its key objective. However, suchany risk sharing implied by steps to reinforccomplete Banking Union must be proeceded in parallel withby comprehensive and effective risk reducing measures designed to break the bank-sovereign link more directly.

Recital 22 a (new)
(22a) The implementation and enforcement of EU banking legislation is crucial to achieve a truly full-fledged Banking Union that reinforces financial stability, benefits financial end-users and protects taxpayers' money from being used in banking crises. Correlation tables are an important safeguard to understand whether, when and how relevant European legislation is transposed and applied across all Member States. As an instrument to foster the EU single rulebook, correlation tables should therefore, as a rule, be provided by the European Commission in cooperation with the relevant European Supervisory Authorities.

(27) In principle, contributions should be collected from the industry prior to, and independently of, any deposit reinsurance and insurance action. When prior funding is insufficient to cover the losses or costs incurred by the use of the Deposit Insurance Fund, additional contributions should be collected to bear the additional cost or loss. Moreover, the Deposit Insurance Fund should be able to contract borrowings or other forms of support from credit institutions, financial institutions or other third parties in the event that the ex-ante and ex post contributions are not immediately accessible or do not cover the expenses incurred by the use of the Deposit Insurance Fund in relation to deposit insurance actions.

(30) Ensuring effective and sufficient financing of the Deposit Insurance Fund is of paramount importance to the credibility of EDIS. The capacity of the Board to contract alternative funding means for the Deposit Insurance Fund should be enhanced in a manner that optimises the cost of funding and preserves the creditworthiness of the Deposit Insurance Fund. Immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation, the necessary steps should be taken by the Board in cooperation with the participating Member States to develop the appropriate methods and modalities permitting the enhancement of the borrowing capacity of the Deposit Insurance Fund that should be in place by the date of application of this Regulationrefore, the adherence of the DGSs to the funding path is set out as a precondition for DGSs to be able to make use of EDIS.
