EBA has published an Opinion to clarify the framework applicable to the set-up and operationalisation of intermediate EU parent undertakings (IPUs) by third country groups (TCGs) operating in the EU.
This Opinion, which is addressed to the competent and resolution authorities, aims to ensure a harmonised and effective application throughout the Union of the requirement introduced by Article 21b of the revised Capital Requirements Directive (CRD5).

In particular, the Opinion provides guidance for those cases where the TCG intends to have in place two IPUs and not a single one because it is subject to segregation of activities imposed by mandatory third country law, or because having a single IPU would make resolution less effective.
The Opinion clarifies the process, as well as the information requirements and the assessment criteria, both from a supervisory and/or resolution perspective, for the approval of the two IPUs structure by the competent authority.
In addition, the Opinion underscores the importance of adequate and effective arrangements to ensure the safety and soundness of the IPU and its subsidiaries in the Union, and draws attention to internal governance, outsourcing, risk management, liquidity and funding arrangements.
