Article 99 Preparation and communication of the draft assessment or draft decision on the need for a group resolution scheme

For the purposes of assessing the need for a group resolution scheme in the context of paragraphs 1 to 4 of Article 91 of Directive 2014/59/EU, the group-level resolution authority shall prepare its draft assessment following receipt of the notification referred to in Article 91(1) of that Directive.

For the purposes of deciding that a group resolution scheme is not needed, as referred to in Article 92(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU, the group-level resolution authority shall prepare its draft decision after assessing that the Union parent undertaking meets the conditions referred to in Articles 32 and 33 of that Directive and that none of the conditions referred to in points (a) to (d) of Article 92(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU applies.

The group-level resolution authority shall take into account the outcome of the dialogue, where applicable, for preparing the draft assessment or decision.

The group-level resolution authority shall provide its draft assessment or decision to the resolution college setting out:

1. (a)

   for the purposes of Article 91 of Directive 2014/59/EU, its opinion on the likely impact of the notified resolution actions or of the insolvency measures on the group and on group entities in other Member States, and, in particular, whether the resolution actions or the other measures would make it likely that the conditions for resolution would be satisfied in relation to a group entity in another Member State;

2. (b)

   for the purposes of Article 92 of Directive 2014/59/EU, its opinion on the non-applicability of any of the conditions for a group resolution scheme as referred to in Article 92(1) of that Directive taking due account of conditions referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article;

3. (c)

   its opinion on the need to mutualise the financing arrangements for the purposes of the financing plan in accordance with Article 107 of Directive 2014/59/EU.

The group-level resolution authority shall attach to its draft assessment or decision all relevant material information, which it has received under Article 81, 82, 91 or 92 of Directive 2014/59/EU and shall set a clear time limit by which members of the resolution college shall express concerns or views divergent from the draft assessment or decision.

The draft assessment or decision shall be prepared and communicated by the group-level resolution authority to the resolution college, without undue delay and, where applicable, respecting the time limit set out in Article 91 of Directive 2014/59/EU.
