EC Issues Rule on Contractual Recognition of Resolution Stay Powers

- Acknowledgement and acceptance by the parties that the contract may be subject to the exercise of powers by a resolution authority to suspend or restrict rights and obligations arising from such a contract under Articles 33a, 69, 70, and 71 of BRRD as transposed by the applicable national law and that the conditions set out in Article 68 of that Directive as transposed by the applicable national law will apply.
- Description of or a reference to the powers of the resolution authority as set out in BRRD, as transposed by the applicable national law, and a description of or a reference to the conditions of Article 68 of Directive 2014/59/EU as transposed by the applicable national law.
