(14)During the period when resolution plans and MREL have not yet been adopted, and where there has been limited time available for deciding on the detailed implementation of the resolution strategy by the resolution authority, it is more likely that there will be instances where it is not possible to apply the bail-in tool to all eligible liabilities within a reasonable time. The determination of what constitutes ‘a reasonable time’ should be connected to the speed and certainty required to finalise the bail-in by a certain date to effectively stabilise the firm. Where it is not feasible to perform all the tasks needed to bail-in certain liabilities by that date, it should be considered not possible to bail-in ‘within a reasonable time’. The decision as to when ‘difficult’ amounts to ‘impossible’ should be made based on the criteria defining a ‘reasonable time’.
