| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (3) The review of the Commission found that it would be appropriate and proportionate to the objectives pursued by the internal MREL rules to allow resolution authorities to set the internal MREL on a consolidated basis for a range of entities that is wider than the range resulting from the application of Directive 2014/59/EU and Regulation (EU) No 806/2014, where such wider range covers institutions and entities that are not resolution entities themselves, but that are subsidiaries of resolution entities and control themselves subsidiaries subject to MREL (‘intermediate entities’). That would be in particular the case for those banking groups that are headed by a holding company. In such cases, the intermediate entities naturally centralise intragroup exposures and channel the internal MREL eligible resources pre-positioned by the resolution entity. Due to that structure, such intermediate entities would be disproportionately affected by the deduction rules. The Commission also concluded that the MREL framework would be more proportionate by the removal of the issuances of liquidation entities from the scope of the exposures that an intermediate entity is required to deduct pursuant to the deduction mechanism for the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources. A liquidation entity will not have to be supported by the resolution entity in case of failure, thus removing the need to safeguard any loss and capital transfer mechanisms within resolution groups, which was the purpose of the deduction rules introduced by Regulation (EU) 2022/2036. By contrast, the remaining entities of the resolution group will need to be supported by the resolution entity in case of distress or failure. The necessary MREL resources should therefore be present at all levels of the resolution group and their availability for loss absorption and recapitalisation should be ensured through the deduction mechanism. Thus, the review of the Commission concluded that intermediate entities should continue to deduct the full amount of their holdings of internal MREL eligible resources issued by other non-liquidation entities in the same resolution group. | (3) The review of the Commission found that it would be appropriate and proportionate to the objectives pursued by the internal MREL rules to allow resolution authorities to set the internal MREL on a consolidated basis for a range of entities that is wider than the range resulting from the application of Directive 2014/59/EU and Regulation (EU) No 806/2014, where such wider range covers institutions and entities that are not resolution entities themselves, but that are subsidiaries of resolution entities and control themselves other subsidiaries (‘intermediate entities’) within the same resolution group.

Due to that structure, such intermediate entities could be disproportionately affected by the deduction rules. The Commission also concluded that the MREL framework would be made more proportionate by adjusting the rules on the scope of exposures that an intermediate entity is required to deduct, where the issuing entity is a liquidation entity not subject to a MREL decision. In those cases, it is not expected that the write-down and conversion powers will need to be exercised in respect of such liquidation entities, thus removing the need to safeguard the loss and capital transfer mechanisms within resolution groups, which was the purpose of the deduction rules introduced by Regulation (EU) 2022/2036. By contrast, the remaining entities of the resolution group will need to be supported by the resolution entity in case of distress or failure.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (5) To ensure that the possibility to comply with MREL on a consolidated basis is available only in the relevant cases identified in the review of the Commission and does not lead to a shortage of internal MREL eligible resources across the resolution group, the power to set the internal MREL on a consolidated basis for intermediate entities should be a discretionary power of the resolution authority and should be subject to certain conditions. The intermediate entity should be the only direct subsidiary, that is an institution or an entity, of a resolution entity which is a parent Union parent financial holding company or a Union parent mixed financial holding company, is established in the same Member State and is part of the same resolution group. Alternatively, the intermediate entity concerned should comply with the additional own funds requirement or with the combined buffer requirement on the basis of its consolidated situation. In both cases, however, compliance with the internal MREL on a consolidated basis should not, in the assessment of the resolution authority, negatively affect in a significant way the resolvability of the resolution group concerned, nor the application by the resolution authority of the power to write down or convert relevant capital instruments and eligible liabilities of the intermediate entity concerned or of other entities in its resolution group. | (5) To ensure that the possibility to comply with MREL on a consolidated basis is available only in the relevant cases identified in the review of the Commission and does not lead to a shortage of internal MREL eligible resources across the resolution group, the power to set the internal MREL on a consolidated basis for intermediate entities should be a discretionary power of the resolution authority and should be subject to certain conditions.

One situation where the setting of internal MREL on a consolidated basis would be detrimental to the resolvability of the resolution group, is where the amount of that MREL does not ensure compliance with the individual own funds requirements applicable after the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers. |

Recital 6
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (6) Pursuant to Article 45f(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU and Article 12g(2) of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014, intermediate entities may comply with the consolidated internal MREL using own funds and eligible liabilities. To fully deliver on the possibility to comply with MREL on a consolidated basis, it is necessary to ensure that the eligible liabilities of intermediate entities are computed in a way that is similar to the computation of own funds. The eligibility criteria for eligible liabilities that may be used to comply with internal MREL on a consolidated basis should therefore be aligned with the rules on the calculation of consolidated own funds laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. To ensure consistency with the existing rules on the external MREL, that alignment should also reflect the existing rules laid down in Article 45b(3) of Directive 2014/59/EU and Article 12d(3) of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 for the calculation of eligible liabilities that resolution entities may use to comply with their consolidated MREL. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that eligible liabilities issued by the subsidiaries of the entity subject to consolidated internal MREL and held by other entities of the same resolution group but outside the scope of consolidation, including the resolution entity, or by existing shareholders not belonging to the same resolution group, count towards the own funds and eligible liabilities of the entity subject to consolidated internal MREL. | (6) Pursuant to Article 45f(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU and Article 12g(2) of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014, intermediate entities may comply with the consolidated internal MREL using own funds and eligible liabilities.

In particular, it is necessary to ensure that eligible liabilities issued by the subsidiaries of the entity subject to consolidated internal MREL and held by the resolution entity, either directly or indirectly through other entities of the same resolution group but outside the scope of consolidation or by existing shareholders not belonging to the same resolution group, count towards the own funds and eligible liabilities of the entity subject to consolidated internal MREL. |

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (7) For liquidation entities, the MREL is normally limited to the amount necessary for loss absorption, which corresponds to the own funds requirements. In such cases, the MREL does not entail for the liquidation entity any additional requirement directly related to the resolution framework. That means that a liquidation entity can fully comply with the MREL by complying with the own funds requirements and that a dedicated decision of the resolution authority determining the MREL does not contribute in a meaningful way to the resolvability of liquidation entities. Such a decision entails many procedural obligations for resolution authorities and for the liquidation entities without a corresponding benefit in terms of improved resolvability. For that reason, resolution authorities should not set a MREL for liquidation entities. | (7) Under the current MREL framework, the MREL for entities earmarked for liquidation is set, in the majority of cases, to the amount necessary for loss absorption, which corresponds to the own funds requirements. In such cases, the MREL does not entail for the liquidation entity any additional requirement directly related to the resolution framework. That means that a liquidation entity can fully comply with the MREL by complying with the own funds requirements and that a dedicated decision of the resolution authority determining the MREL does not contribute in a meaningful way to the resolvability of liquidation entities.

Recital 8
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (8) Where the resolution authority considers that an entity that is part of a resolution group qualifies as a liquidation entity, intermediate entities should not be required to deduct from their internal MREL capacity their holdings of own funds or other liabilities that would meet the conditions for compliance with the internal MREL and that are issued by liquidation entities. In such a case, the liquidation entity is no longer required to comply with the MREL, and therefore there is no indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources through the chain formed by the resolution entity, the intermediate entity and the liquidation entity. In case of failure, the resolution strategy does not envisage that the liquidation entity would be supported by the resolution entity. That means that the upstreaming of losses from the liquidation entity to the resolution entity, via the intermediate entity, would not be expected, and neither would the downstreaming of capital in the opposite direction. That adjustment to the scope of the holdings to be deducted in the context of the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources would thus not affect the prudential soundness of the framework. | (8) When preparing resolution plans and assessing the resolvability of resolution groups, resolution authorities are able to consider that a group entity qualifies as a liquidation entity as the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers is not envisaged in respect of that entity. Where that is the case, the group entity might not need to hold own funds and eligible liabilities in excess of its own funds requirements. In those circumstances, intermediate entities should be required to deduct from their internal MREL capacity their holdings of own funds that are issued by liquidation entities which are not subject to a MREL decision. However, they should not be required to deduct liabilities that would meet the conditions for compliance with the internal MREL. In case of failure, the resolution strategy does not envisage that the liquidation entity would be recapitalised by the resolution entity. That means that the upstreaming of losses above the existing own funds requirements from the liquidation entity to the resolution entity, via the intermediate entity, would not be expected, and neither would the downstreaming of capital in the opposite direction. That adjustment to the scope of the holdings to be deducted in the context of the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources would thus not affect the prudential soundness of the framework. |

| (9) The main objective of the permission regime for the reduction of eligible liabilities instruments laid down in Articles 77(2) and 78a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, which is also applicable to institutions and entities subject to the MREL and to the liabilities issued to comply with MREL, is to enable resolution authorities to monitor the actions that result in a reduction of the stock of eligible liabilities and to prohibit any action that would amount to a reduction beyond a level which resolution authorities deem adequate. Where the resolution authority has not adopted a decision determining the MREL in respect of an institution or entity, that objective is not relevant. Moreover, institutions or entities that are not subject to a decision determining the MREL do not have eligible liabilities on their balance sheet. Institutions or entities for which no decisions determining the MREL have been adopted should therefore not be required to obtain the prior permission of the resolution authority to effect the call, redemption, repayment or repurchase of liabilities that would meet the eligibility requirements for MREL. | (9) The main objective of the permission regime for the reduction of eligible liabilities instruments laid down in Articles 77(2) and 78a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, which is also applicable to institutions and entities subject to the MREL and to the liabilities issued to comply with MREL, is to enable resolution authorities to monitor the actions that result in a reduction of the stock of eligible liabilities and to prohibit any action that would amount to a reduction beyond a level which resolution authorities deem adequate.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (10) There are liquidation entities for which the MREL does exceed the amount of the own funds requirements, in which case resolution authorities should be able to set the MREL. That MREL should be set at an amount exceeding the amount for loss absorption where the resolution authorities consider that such amount is necessary to protect financial stability or address the risk of contagion to the financial system. In those situations, the liquidation entity should comply with the MREL and should not be exempted from the prior permission regime laid down in Articles 77(2) and 78a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. Any intermediate entities belonging to the same resolution group as the liquidation entity concerned should continue to be required to deduct from their internal MREL capacity their holdings of internal MREL eligible resources issued by that liquidation entity. In addition, since liquidation proceedings take place at the level of the legal entity, liquidation entities still subject to MREL should comply with the requirement on an individual basis only. Lastly, certain eligibility requirements related to the ownership of the liability concerned are not relevant, as there is no need to ensure the transfer of losses and capital from the liquidation entity to a resolution entity, and should therefore not apply. | (10) There are liquidation entities for which the MREL should exceed the amount for loss absorption. That is the case where the resolution authorities consider that such a higher amount is necessary to protect financial stability or address the risk of contagion to the financial system. In those situations, resolution authorities should determine a MREL for the liquidation entity consisting of an amount sufficient to absorb losses, increased by the amount necessary to properly address the potential risks identified by the resolution authorities. The liquidation entity should comply with the MREL and should not be exempted from the prior permission regime laid down in Articles 77(2) and 78a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

In addition, since liquidation proceedings take place at the level of the legal entity, liquidation entities still subject to MREL should comply with the requirement on an individual basis only. Lastly, certain eligibility requirements related to the ownership of the liability concerned are not relevant, as without the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers there would be no need to preserve the control of the subsidiary by the resolution entity, and should therefore not apply. |
