1.Where, pursuant to Article 1, a credit institution is not regarded as an institution the failure of which would be likely to have a significant negative effect on financial markets, on other institutions or on funding conditions, competent and resolution authorities shall assess the impact of that credit institution's failure on financial markets, other institutions or funding conditions on a regular basis and at least every two years and having regard to, at least, all of the following qualitative considerations:
(a)the extent to which the credit institution performs critical functions in one or more Member States;
(b)whether the credit institution's covered deposits would exceed the available financial means of the relevant deposit guarantee scheme and the deposit guarantee scheme's capacity to raise extraordinary ex post contributions, as referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2014/49/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council(1);
(c)whether the credit institution's shareholding structure is highly concentrated, highly dispersed or not sufficiently transparent in a way that could negatively impact the availability or timely implementation of the institution's recovery or resolution actions;
(d)whether the credit institution that is a member of an IPS, as referred to in Article 113(7) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), provides critical functions to other IPS members, including clearing, treasury or other services;
(e)whether the credit institution is affiliated to a central body, as referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, and the mutualisation of losses among affiliated institutions would constitute a substantive impediment to normal insolvency proceedings.
2.The assessment referred to in paragraph 1 shall be performed independently by competent and resolution authorities having regard to the objectives pursued by recovery and resolution planning.
3.The assessment referred to in paragraph 1 may be performed for a category of credit institutions where the relevant competent or resolution authority determines that two or more credit institutions have similar characteristics in terms of all of the qualitative considerations set out in paragraph 1.
