(h) 

dliteanais, chuig institiúidí nó eintitis dá dtagraítear i bpointí (b), (c) nó (d) d'Airteagal 1(1) a bhaineann leis an ngrúpa réitigh céanna ach nach eintitis réitigh iad féin per se, gan beann ar a gcuid aibíochtaí, seachas i gcás inarb ísle rangú do na dliteanais sin ná do ghnáthdhliteanais neamhurraithe faoin dlí ábhartha náisiúnta lena rialaítear gnáthimeachtaí dócmhainneachta agus is infheidhme ar dháta trasuí na Treorach seo; i gcásanna ina bhfuil feidhm ag an eisceacht sin, déanfaidh údarás réitigh na fochuideachta ábhartha nach eintiteas réitigh a mheasúnú cé acu is leor nó nach leor líon na n-ítimí a chomhlíonann Airteagal 45f(2) chun go gcuirfí chun feidhme straitéis réitigh na tosaíochta.

▼B

Point (g)(i) of the first subparagraph shall not apply to the variable component of the remuneration of material risk takers as identified in Article 92(2) of Directive 2013/36/EU.

Member States shall ensure that all secured assets relating to a covered bond cover pool remain unaffected, segregated and with enough funding. Neither that requirement nor point (b) of the first subparagraph shall prevent resolution authorities, where appropriate, from exercising those powers in relation to any part of a secured liability or a liability for which collateral has been pledged that exceeds the value of the assets, pledge, lien or collateral against which it is secured.

Point (a) of the first subparagraph shall not prevent resolution authorities, where appropriate, from exercising those powers in relation to any amount of a deposit that exceeds the coverage level provided for in Article 6 of Directive 2014/49/EU.

Without prejudice to the large exposure rules in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Directive 2013/36/EU, Member States shall ensure that in order to provide for the resolvability of institutions and groups, resolution authorities limit, in accordance with point (b) of Article 17(5) of this Directive, the extent to which other institutions hold ►M3  dliteanais in-fhortharrthála ◄ , save for liabilities that are held at entities that are part of the same group.

Article 44 3.

In exceptional circumstances, where the bail-in tool is applied, the resolution authority may exclude or partially exclude certain liabilities from the application of the write-down or conversion powers where:

(a) 

it is not possible to bail-in that liability within a reasonable time notwithstanding the good faith efforts of the resolution authority;

(b) 

the exclusion is strictly necessary and is proportionate to achieve the continuity of critical functions and core business lines in a manner that maintains the ability of the institution under resolution to continue key operations, services and transactions;

(c) 

the exclusion is strictly necessary and proportionate to avoid giving rise to widespread contagion, in particular as regards eligible deposits held by natural persons and micro, small and medium sized enterprises, which would severely disrupt the functioning of financial markets, including of financial market infrastructures, in a manner that could cause a serious disturbance to the economy of a Member State or of the Union; or

(d) 

the application of the bail-in tool to those liabilities would cause a destruction in value such that the losses borne by other creditors would be higher than if those liabilities were excluded from bail-in.

I dtaca le dliteanais chuig institiúidí nó eintitis dá dtagraítear i bpointí (b), (c) nó (d) d'Airteagal 1(1) den Treoir seo, a bhaineann leis an ngrúpa réitigh céanna ach nach eintitis réitigh iad féin per se, agus nach n- eisiatar ó chur i bhfeidhm na gcumhachtaí díluachála agus comhshó faoi phointe (h) de mhír (2) den Airteagal seo, déanfaidh na húdaráis réitigh measúnú go cúramach ar cé acu is ceart nó nach ceart iad a eisiamh go huile nó go páirteach faoi phointí (a) go (d) den chéad fhomhír den mhír seo d'fhonn a áirithiú go gcuirtear an straitéis réitigh chun feidhme go héifeachtúil.

I gcás ina ndéanann eitinteas réitigh dliteanas in-fhortharrthála, nó aicme dliteanas in-fhortharrthála, a eisiamh nó a eisiamh go páirteach faoin mhír seo, féadfar leibhéal na díluachála nó an chomhshó a chuirtear i bhfeidhm maidir le dliteanais infhortharrthála eile a mhéadú chun eisiamh den sórt sin a chur san áireamh, ar choinníoll go gcomhlíonann leibhéal na díluachála agus an chomhshó a chuirtear i bhfeidhm maidir le dliteanais in-fhortharrthála eile an prionsabal i bpointe (g) d'Airteagal 34(1).

Article 44 4.

I gcás ina gcinnfidh údarás réitigh dliteanas in-fhortharrthála nó aicme dliteanas in-fhortharrthála a eisiamh nó a eisiamh go páirteach de bhun an Airteagail seo, agus nár tugadh ar aghaidh na caillteanais a bheadh dlite do na dliteanais sin go hiomlán do chreidiúnaithe eile, féadfaidh an socrú um maoiniú réitigh ranníocaíocht a dhéanamh leis an institiúid faoi réiteach chun ceann amháin nó an dá cheann díobh seo a leanas a dhéanamh:

(a) 

aon chaillteanais nach bhfuil glactha ag dliteanais in-fhortharrthála a chumhdach agus glanluach sócmhainní na hinstitiúide faoi réiteach a aisíoc go nialas i gcomhréir le pointe (a) d'Airteagal 46 (1);

(b) 

scaireanna nó ionstraimí eile úinéireachta nó ionstraimí caipitil a cheannach san institiúid faoi réiteach, chun an institiúid a athchaipitliú i gcomhréir le pointe (b) d'Airteagal 46 (1).

Article 44 5.

The resolution financing arrangement may make a contribution referred to in paragraph 4 only where:

(a) 

a contribution to loss absorption and recapitalisation equal to an amount not less than 8 % of the total liabilities including own funds of the institution under resolution, measured at the time of resolution action in accordance with the valuation provided for in Article 36, has been made by the shareholders and the holders of other instruments of ownership, the holders of relevant capital instruments and other ►M3  dliteanais in-fhortharrthála ◄ through write down, conversion or otherwise; and

(b) 

the contribution of the resolution financing arrangement does not exceed 5 % of the total liabilities including own funds of the institution under resolution, measured at the time of resolution action in accordance with the valuation provided for in Article 36.

Article 44 6.

The contribution of the resolution financing arrangement referred to in paragraph 4 may be financed by:

(a) 

the amount available to the resolution financing arrangement which has been raised through contributions by institutions and Union branches in accordance with Article 100(6) and Article 103;

(b) 

the amount that can be raised through ex-post contributions in accordance with Article 104 within three years; and

(c) 

where the amounts referred to (a) and (b) of this paragraph are insufficient, amounts raised from alternative financing sources in accordance with Article 105.

Article 44 7.

In extraordinary circumstances, the resolution authority may seek further funding from alternative financing sources after:

(a) 

the 5 % limit specified in paragraph 5(b) has been reached; and

(b) 

all unsecured, non-preferred liabilities, other than eligible deposits, have been written down or converted in full.

As an alternative or in addition, where the conditions laid down in the first subparagraph are met, the resolution financing arrangement may make a contribution from resources which have been raised through ex-ante contributions in accordance with Article 100(6) and Article 103 and which have not yet been used.

Article 44 8.

By way of derogation from paragraph 5 (a), the resolution financing arrangement may also make a contribution as referred to in paragraph 4 provided that:

(a) 

the contribution to loss absorption and recapitalisation referred to in point (a) of paragraph 5 is equal to an amount not less than 20 % of the risk weighted assets of the institution concerned;

(b) 

the resolution financing arrangement of the Member State concerned has at its disposal, by way of ex-ante contributions (not including contributions to a deposit guarantee scheme) raised in accordance with Article 100(6) and Article 103, an amount which is at least equal to 3 % of covered deposits of all the credit institutions authorised in the territory of that Member State; and

(c) 

the institution concerned has assets below EUR 900 billion on a consolidated basis.

Article 44 9.

When exercising the discretions under paragraph 3, resolution authorities shall give due consideration to:

(a) 

the principle that losses should be borne first by shareholders and next, in general, by creditors of the institution under resolution in order of preference;

(b) 

the level of loss absorbing capacity that would remain in the institution under resolution if the liability or class of liabilities were excluded; and

(c) 

the need to maintain adequate resources for resolution financing.

Article 44 10.
Exclusions under paragraph 3 may be applied either to completely exclude a liability from write down or to limit the extent of the write down applied to that liability.
Article 44 11.
The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 115 in order to specify further the circumstances when exclusion is necessary to achieve the objectives specified in paragraph 3 of this Article.
Article 44 12.
Before exercising the discretion to exclude a liability under paragraph 3, the resolution authority shall notify the Commission. Where the exclusion would require a contribution by the resolution financing arrangement or an alternative financing source under paragraphs 4 to 8, the Commission may, within 24 hours of receipt of such a notification, or a longer period with the agreement of the resolution authority, prohibit or require amendments to the proposed exclusion if the requirements of this Article and delegated acts are not met in order to protect the integrity of the internal market. This is without prejudice to the application by the Commission of the Union State aid framework.
