Additional Nematrian Commentary

This Directive updates tools at the Union level aimed at dealing effectively with unsound or failing credit institutions and investment firms. According to its Recital 1, such tools are needed to "prevent insolvency or, when insolvency occurs, to minimise negative repercussions by preserving the systemically important functions of the institution concerned. During the crisis, those challenges were a major factor that forced Member States to save institutions using taxpayers' money. The objective of a credible recovery and resolution framework is to obviate the need for such action to the greatest extent possible."
