(6)When assessing the resolvability of an institution, resolution authorities should take into account whether the chosen strategy ensures the continuity of critical functions, and whether the power to address or remove impediments to resolvability relates to critical functions. Similarly, in a bail-in scenario, liabilities could be exempted from the scope of the bail-in where the exclusion is strictly necessary and proportionate to achieve the continuity of critical functions. Critical functions also become relevant in the operation of a bridge bank tool since a bridge bank institution should maintain critical functions.
