Recital 3
(3) In July 2017 the Council in its "Action Plan to Tackle Non-Performing Loans in Europe"25 called upon various institutions to take appropriate measures to further address the high number of NPLs in the Union and to avoid long-run increases of NPLs in the future. The Action Plan sets out a comprehensive approach that focuses on a mix of complementary policy actions in four areas: (i) bank supervision and regulation (ii) reform of restructuring, insolvency and debt recovery frameworks, (iii) developing secondary markets for distressed assets, and (iv) fostering restructuring of the banking system. Actions in these areas are to be taken at national level and at Union level where appropriate. The Commission announced a similar intention in its "Communication on completing the Banking Union" of 11 October 201726 , which called for a comprehensive package on tackling NPLs within the Union. _________________ 2511/07/2017, http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/p ress-releases/2017/07/11/conclusions-non- performing-loans/pdf. 26Communication to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Central Bank, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on completing the Banking Union, COM(2017) 592 final, 11.10.2017.

Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) Similarly, the Directive does not affect the restrictions in national laws regarding transfer of creditor´s rights under a non-performing credit agreement or the credit agreement itself that is not terminated in accordance with national civil law with the effect that all amounts payable under the credit agreement become immediately due, where this is required for the transfer to an entity outside the banking system. This way, there will be Member States where, taking into account the national rules, the acquisition of non-performing credit agreements that are not past due, are less than 90 days past due or are not terminated in accordance with national civil law by non-regulated creditors will remain limited. It is open to Member States to regulate the transfer of performing credit agreements, including by imposing requirements equivalent to those under this Directive.
