The Commission is consulting on the details of a framework for dealing with failing banks. Following October's Communication on a crisis management framework, the Commission wants to make a legislative proposal on technical measures for dealing with relevant institutions in summer 2011. The consultation looks at how to give authorities across the EU powers and tools to restructure or resolve all types of institutions in crisis. It covers:

Parliament made a resolution calling on the Commission to adopt draft laws before the end of the year to help manage cross-border institutional crises. The measures should provide a common minimum set of rules, encourage convergence of national resolution and insolvency laws, and ultimately establish an EU resolution and insolvency regime. Parliament wants to see more crisis management powers to supervisory authorities, probably coordinated by the new European Banking Authority (EBA) (which takes over from CEBS).

The Commission has agreed a plan to split Northern Rock into two banks, a “good” and a “bad” one. The “good” bank will carry on the economic activities of Northern Rock and the “bad” one will be an asset management company that will run down the remaining business. The Commission found the UK Government had kept state aid to a minimum in planning the restructuring. Treasury is pleased with the approval, which it says will allow Northern Rock to return to the mortgage markets while the back book of mortgages is managed separately.
