(8) Where the resolution authorityn preparing resolution plans and assessing the resolvability of resolution groups, resolution authorities are able to considers that an entity that is part of a resolution group qualifies as a liquidation entity, intermediate entities should not be required to deduct from their internal MREL capacity their holdings of own funds or other liabilities that would meet the conditions for compliance with the internal MREL and that are issued by liquidation entities. In such a case, the liquidation entity is no longer required to comply with the MREL, and therefore there is no indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources through the chain formed by the resolution entity, the intermediate entity and the liquidation entity group entity qualifies as a liquidation entity as the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers is not envisaged in respect of that entity. Where that is the case, the group entity might not need to hold own funds and eligible liabilities in excess of its own funds requirements. In those circumstances, intermediate entities should not be required to deduct from their internal MREL capacity their holdings of own funds or other liabilities that would meet the conditions for compliance with the internal MREL and that are issued by liquidation entities. In case of failure, the resolution strategy does not envisage that the liquidation entity would be supportrecapitalised by the resolution entity. That means that the upstreaming of losses above the existing own funds requirements from the liquidation entity to the resolution entity, via the intermediate entity, would not be expected, and neither would the downstreaming of capital in the opposite direction. That adjustment to the scope of the holdings to be deducted in the context of the indirect subscription of internal MREL eligible resources would thus not affect the prudential soundness of the framework.

(10) There are liquidation entities for which the MREL does exceed the amount of the own funds requirements, in which case resolution authorities should be able to set the MREL. That MREL should be set at an amountresolution authorities may consider that MREL should exceeding the amount for loss absorption. That is the case where the resolution authorities consider that such a higher amount is necessary to protect financial stability or address the risk of contagion to the financial system. In those situations, the liquidation entityresolution authorities should determine a MREL for the liquidation entity consisting of an amount sufficient to absorb losses, increased by the amount necessary to properly address the potential risks identified by the resolution authorities. The liquidation entity concerned should comply with the MREL and should not be exempted from the prior permission regime laid down in Articles 77(2) and 78a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. Any intermediate entities belonging to the same resolution group as the liquidation entity concerned should continue to be required to deduct from their internal MREL capacity their holdings of internal MREL eligible resources issued by that liquidation entity. In addition, since liquidation proceedings take place at the level of the legal entity, liquidation entities still subject to MREL should comply with the requirement on an individual basis only. Lastly, certain eligibility requirements related to the ownership of the liability concerned are not relevant, as there is no need to ensure the transfer of losses and capital from the liquidation entity to awithout the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers there would be no need to preserve the control of the subsidiary by the resolution entity, and should therefore not apply.
