According to Article 81(3) BRRD, the competent authority or the resolution authority, upon determining that the conditions referred to in Article 32(1)(a) and (b) BRRD are met, must communicate such determination without delay to a number of authorities, listed thereunder. Both Articles 81 and 32 BRRD are silent as to which form such determination should take. The same holds true for Articles 45 and 48 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1075, which, however, set a number of rules in relation to the notification of such determination.

In light of the above, any aspect that is not governed by the BRRD or supplementing Regulations is to be determined in accordance with the applicable national law.
