(23)In order to ensure that creditors have appropriate protection in cases where they are not satisfied with the protection offered by the company in the draft terms and where they may not have found a satisfactory solution with the company, creditors, who have notified the company beforehand, should be able to apply for safeguards to the appropriate authority. When assessing such safeguards, the appropriate authority should take into account whether a creditor’s claim against the company or a third party is of at least an equivalent value and of a commensurate credit quality as it was before the cross-border operation and whether the claim may be brought in the same jurisdiction.
