Article 82(2) BRRD requires that the resolution authority’s decision must contain both (a) the determination on whether the conditions for resolution are met and the decision to take resolution actions; and (b) the action that the resolution authority intends to take. In light of such provision, the decision under Article 82 BRRD should spell out any of the resolution tools that, at that moment, the authority envisages to take.

Should the necessity of applying further resolution tools or powers arise following the adoption of the initial decision under Article 82 BRRD, a new formal decision should be adopted.
