Changed:Recital 7 a (new): (7a) Acquisitions through resolution tools under the respective resolution frameworks (for banks, central counterparties or reinsuranceinsurance or reinsurance undertakings) should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. In resolution, time is of the essence and decisions are often made literally overnight. The in-depth screening procedures provided for in this Regulation are not in line with the need for a timely response. In order to avoid financial stability risks, resolution transactions should therefore be excluded. Resolution authorities should take into account, to the extent possible, this Regulation when performing resolution actions with the involvement of a foreign investor, in particular when strategic assets are involved.
