(13)It is necessary to align the general prior permission regimes for own funds and eligible liabilities instruments to ensure that those regimes are applied coherently across the Union. The predetermined amount to be set by resolution authorities when granting the general prior permission to reduce eligible liabilities instruments should therefore be subject to limits, without preventing resolution authorities to set lower predetermined amounts for a particular institution where justified by the specific circumstances of the case. It is also necessary to prevent institutions from operating at a level of own funds and eligible liabilities instruments that would fail to reflect that a part of the own funds and eligible liabilities instruments would not be available to absorb losses when needed. In case of a general prior permission, the predetermined amount for which the authority concerned has given its permission should therefore be deducted from the moment the authorisation is granted.
