(1)Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁴ , Regulation (EU) 2019/877 of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁵ and Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁶ amended the Union resolution framework for credit institutions and investment firms through amendments to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁷ , Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁸ and Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁹ , respectively. Those amendments were necessary to implement in the Union the international ‘Total Loss-absorbing Capacity (TLAC) Term Sheet’, published by the Financial Stability Board on 9 November 2015 (the ‘TLAC standard’), for global systemically important banks, referred to in the Union framework as global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs), and to enhance the application of the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) for all banks. The revised Union bank resolution framework should better ensure that the loss absorption and recapitalisation of banks occurs through private means when those banks become financially unviable and are, subsequently, placed in resolution.
