Commission Delegated Regulation on deferral of extraordinary ex post contributions to a resolution financing arrangement and the criteria for determining critical functions was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Regulation sets out the assessment that a resolution authority should undertake of a firm's application for deferral from the obligation to contribute to extraordinary ex post contributions to a resolution financing arrangement, including an assessment of the impact on the firm's financial position. The Regulation also provides the criteria for determining whether a function is a critical function. The BRRD requires firms to identify all of the critical functions within the firm or its group in the firm's recovery plan to aid the assessment of how a critical function could be continued when the firm is under financial stress. The Regulation applies from June 9, 2016.
