(10)According to Article 45c(3), first subparagraph, point (a), point (ii), of Directive 2014/59/EU, the recapitalisation amount is the amount that allows the resolution group resulting from resolution to restore compliance with, among other requirements, the additional own funds requirement at the consolidated resolution group level after the implementation of the preferred resolution strategy. According to Article 45c(3), seventh subparagraph, of Directive 2014/59/EU, the amount necessary to ensure that, following resolution, the resolution entity is able to sustain sufficient market confidence for an appropriate period is to be equal to the combined buffer requirement that is to apply after the application of the resolution tools less the countercyclical capital buffer. The recapitalisation amount, including the amount required to sustain market confidence, is a part of the MREL and may be adjusted downwards or upwards under paragraphs 3 and 7 of Article 45c of Directive 2014/59/EU to reflect the changes to the resolution group after the application of the resolution tools. Accordingly, only the additional own funds and combined buffer requirements applied to the resolution entity at the resolution group consolidated level that are used to calibrate the MREL should be estimated. That estimation should, however, be without prejudice to any adjustments to the recapitalisation amount, including the amount required to sustain market confidence, when setting the MREL under Directive 2014/59/EU.
