Session 1: Resolution, TLAC implementation, hierarchy of claims in insolvency

Possible discussion points

• Is the integration of TLAC into the existing EU bank resolution regime seamless? Are there any areas of concern?
• Will there be enough demand for TLAC instruments on the market?
• Does the current recovery and resolution framework leave an appropriate amount of freedom to member states to address specific issues or to alert the timing and approach or intervention?
• Is the current hierarchy of instruments in case of insolvency comprehensive and clear enough?

Session 2: Prudential aspects i.e. liquidity, leverage, trading book, accounting

Possible discussion points

• Is the current LR proposal an appropriate backstop measure? Have all the necessary adjustments (e.g. exclusion of some assets) been made or is more to be done?
• Is the NSFR fit for purpose? Is it risk - sensitive enough? Was the Commission right by adopting some changes to the original Basel standards?
• How does the review affect capital markets activities in terms of capital requirements? How does it affect the European Commission's plan for a Capital Market Union?
• Will the new CRD/CRR provide enough incentives for investments in infrastracture? Is the separate asset class sufficient or should more be done?
• Does the review take into account the future changes in accounting practices (IFRS9)? Can the Commission ensure a level playing field regardless of the underlying accounting regime?
