Under the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) on crisis prevention, management and resolution, the EBA is mandated to develop a wide range of Technical Standards, Guidelines and Reports with the aim of ensuring effective and consistent procedures across the Union, in particular with respect to cross-border financial institutions. The ultimate objective of the BRRD framework is to enhance financial stability, reduce moral hazard, protect depositors and critical financial services, save public money and ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market for financial services.
