(a)

to protect any type of arrangements which can be subsumed under one of the classes in points (a), (c), (d) and (f) of Article 76(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU, and which are protected in normal insolvency proceedings against a temporary or indefinite separation, suspension or cancellation of assets, rights and liabilities falling under these arrangements under their national insolvency law including the national transposition of Directive 2001/24/EC,

(b)

to protect any type of arrangements which do not fall within the scope of Article 76(2) of Directive 2014/59/EU and which are protected in normal insolvency proceedings against a temporary or indefinite separation, suspension or cancellation of assets, rights and liabilities falling under these arrangements under their national insolvency law including the national transposition of Directive 2001/24/EC.

2.   Resolution authorities may, in individual cases, exclude from the protection afforded by Article 76(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU, security arrangements, or set-off and netting arrangements which relate to contracts including any clause which, in the event of default of a counterparty, permits a non-defaulting counterparty to make limited payments only, or no payments at all, to the estate of the defaulting party, even if the defaulting party is a net creditor.
