- Harmonisation of the existing frameworks and the definition of a common approach to the fundamental elements of recovery and resolution will avoid the current fragmented landscape and facilitate cross-border cooperation
- EIOPA proposes four building blocks for the minimum harmonised recovery and resolution framework, namely preparation and planning, early intervention, resolution as well as cross-border cooperation and coordination
- The harmonised recovery and resolution framework should be aligned with the Solvency II framework and be applied in a proportionate manner
