The resolution plan must be drawn up on the basis of—

a

the information provided for that purpose by a group entity set up in the United Kingdom or by the appropriate regulator; and

b

any other relevant information.

For the purpose of drawing up a group resolution plan, the Bank must consult—

the appropriate regulator;

b

each relevant competent authority; and

so far as the plan is relevant to a significant branch which an institution within the relevant group has in another EEA State, the resolution authority established in that State.

an institution within the relevant group which has a significant branch in a third country,
