Article 77 Planning of the steps of the joint decision process on measures to address substantive impediments to resolvability

Prior to the start of the joint decision process on measures to address or remove substantive impediments to resolvability, the group-level resolution authority and the resolution authorities of subsidiaries shall agree on a timetable of steps to be followed in the joint decision timetable.

In the case of a failure to agree on that timetable, the group-level resolution authority shall set the joint decision timetable after considering the views and any reservations expressed by the resolution authorities of subsidiaries.

The joint decision timetable shall include the following steps:

1. (a)

   preparation and circulation of the report on substantive impediments identified in accordance with Article 18(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU by the group-level resolution authority in consultation with the consolidating supervisor and the EBA;

2. (b)

   submission of the report pursuant to Article 18(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU from the group-level resolution authority to the Union parent undertaking, the resolution authorities of subsidiaries, and the resolution authorities of jurisdictions in which significant branches are located;

3. (c)

   date when the Union parent undertaking submits to the group-level resolution authority its observations and alternative measures to remedy the substantive impediments, if any, in accordance with Article 18(3) of Directive 2014/59/EU;

4. (d)

   dialogue between the group-level resolution authority and the resolution authorities of subsidiaries and other resolution college members, on any observations or alternative measures to remedy the substantive impediments proposed by the Union parent undertaking pursuant to Article 18(3) of Directive 2014/59/EU, as appropriate;

5. (e)

   development of the draft joint decision on measures to address or remove substantive impediments to resolvability;

6. (f)

   finalisation of the joint decision on measures to address or remove substantive impediments to resolvability; and

7. (g)

   communication of the joint decision on measures to address or remove substantive impediments to resolvability.

The joint decision timetable shall be reviewed and updated by the group-level resolution authority in order to reflect the extension of the joint decision process where the Union parent undertaking submits observations and proposes any alternative measures to address or remove substantive impediments to resolvability in accordance to Article 18(3) of Directive 2014/59/EU.

When drafting the joint decision timetable, the group-level resolution authority shall have regard to the terms and conditions of the observers' participation as set out in the resolution college written arrangements and in the respective provisions of Directive 2014/59/EU.

The group-level resolution authority shall communicate to the Union parent undertaking those aspects of the joint decision timetable that envisage the involvement of the Union parent undertaking.
