Possible discussion points

• How should the TLAC and MREL requirement be calibrated across different banks to ensure resolvability whilst also maintaining a level playing field within the EU and vis-à-vis overseas banks and a sustainable financing capacity for economic growth?
• Can the transition to the new TLAC and MREL requirements be achieved for all banks by 2022 given the proposal eligibility criteria?
• How should breaches of MREL be addressed?
• Will a moratorium tool in the early intervention stage be counterproductive to financial stability?
• Do the risk reduction measures effectively address the sovereign-bank nexus?
• What outstanding issues need to be addressed to complete the crisis management framework?
• What will it take to complete the Banking Union's final pillar: the European Deposit Insurance Scheme?
• Do banks in the EU or even in the Banking Union need internal MREL requirements? When can EU banks avail themselves of the benefits of a single market?
