EU Council Agrees Approach to RRD

On 27 June 2013, the EU Council published a press release confirming an agreed position with respect to the Recovery and Resolution Directive (RRD) and calling on the EU Presidency to start trilogue negotiations with the EU Parliament with a view to adoption of the RRD at first reading before the end of 2013.

The press release focuses on three areas:

  • Bail-in;
  • Resolution funds; and
  • Minimum loss absorbing capacity.

It does not contain much in the way of detail beyond that widely reported over the last week.  However, it is perhaps noteworthy that only inter-bank liabilities with an original maturity of less than seven days are to be excluded from the scope of the bail-in tool.
