The EBA consults on three sets of Guidelines related to the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD). The documents aim at facilitating the implementation of resolution tools in the EU banking sector, and in particular at regulating the sale of business tool and the asset separation tool, as well as the transfer of an institution or its assets under any of the resolution tools. The consultation runs until 22 December 2014.

This statement was delivered during the annual public hearing of the chairpersons of the three European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) at the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) of the European Parliament.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its final Guidelines specifying the type of tests, review or exercises that may lead to extraordinary public support measures for institutions in the banking sector. These Guidelines aim at promoting a consistent and coherent approach to bank resolution across the European Union and will be part of the EU Single Rulebook in the banking sector.
