This Order implements the obligations in Directive (EU) 2017/2399 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2014/59/EU as regards the ranking of unsecured debt instruments in insolvency hierarchy (the Directive). The Directive provides for a new class of non-preferred senior debt to be issued by credit institutions, investment firms and others. In insolvency proceedings, debts in this class are to rank below ordinary unsecured debts but above own funds investments and subordinated liabilities that do not qualify as own funds instruments.
