Proposal for a regulation
Article 66 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Where participating Member States have already established national resolution financing arrangements, they shall provide that the national resolution financing arrangements use their available financial means, collected from institutions in the past by way of ex-ante contributions, to compensate institutions for the ex-ante contributions which those institutions should pay into the Fund. Such restitution shall be without prejudice to the obligations of Member States under Directive 94/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
