Directive (EU) 2017/2399 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 amending Directive 2014/59/EU as regards the ranking of unsecured debt instruments in insolvency hierarchy · European Union

(2) The implementation of the TLAC standard into Union law needs to take into account the existing institution-specific minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) applicable to all Union institutions as laid down in Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council 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 (OJ L 173, 12.6.2014, p. 190). . As TLAC and MREL pursue the same objective of ensuring that Union institutions have sufficient loss-absorbing and recapitalisation capacity, the two requirements should be complementary elements of a common framework. Concretely, the Commission proposed that the harmonised minimum level of the TLAC standard for G-SIIs (‘the TLAC minimum requirement’) and the eligibility criteria for liabilities used to comply with that standard should be introduced in Union law through amendments to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 1). , while the institution-specific add-on for G-SIIs and the institution-specific requirement for non-G-SIIs as well as relevant eligibility criteria should be addressed through targeted amendments to Directive 2014/59/EU and to Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2014 establishing uniform rules and a uniform procedure for the resolution of credit institutions and certain investment firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single Resolution Fund and amending Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 (OJ L 225, 30.7.2014, p. 1). . This Directive, which concerns the ranking of unsecured debt instruments in insolvency hierarchy, is complementary to the aforementioned legislative acts, as proposed to be amended, and to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC (OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 338). .
