Exclusion of securities guaranteed by an independent on-demand guarantee from bail-in

As clarified in Q&A 1779 , the liabilities guaranteed by third party may not be considered as "secured liabilities" in the meaning of Article 44(2)(b) of Directive 2014/59/EU (BRRD) and are thus not excluded from bail-in. Exclusion from bail-in under Article 44(3) BRRD may be possible if the conditions therein are met, as specified further in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/860, adopted on 4 February 2016, under Article 44(11) BRRD. Disclaimer: This question goes beyond matters of consistent and effective application of the regulatory framework. A Directorate General of the Commission (Directorate General Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union) has prepared the answer, albeit that only the Court of Justice of the European Union can provide definitive interpretations of EU legislation. This is an unofficial opinion of that Directorate General, which the European Banking Authority publishes on its behalf. The answers are not binding on the European Commission as an institution. You should be aware that the European Commission could adopt a position different from the one expressed in such Q&As, for instance in infringement proceedings or after a detailed examination of a specific case or on the basis of any new legal or factual elements that may have been brought to its attention.
