6.4 The assessment of resolution aid

As a result of the fact that the 2013 Banking Communication does not include the concept of resolution aid, it is also not clear which framework applies to the assessment by the Commission of this aid. This section discusses the criteria that can be established based on the Commission’s decision practice in respect of the assessment by the Commission of resolution aid when notified by a Member State that it intends to grant resolution aid, both on an ad hoc basis and under a resolution aid scheme. The assessment of State aid awards outside of resolution is discussed in the next section.
