EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation) These Regulations give effect to Regulation (EU) 2021/23 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2020 on a framework for the recovery and resolution of central counterparties. The objective of a recovery and resolution framework is to ensure that Central Counterparties (CCPs) set out measures to recover from financial distress, to maintain the critical functions of a CCP which is failing or likely to fail while winding up the remaining activities through normal insolvency proceedings, and to preserve financial stability and to avoid a significant adverse effect on the financial system. 1 OJ No. L 22, 22.01.2021, p. 1 1 OJ No. L 22, 22.01.2021, p. 1 2 OJ No. L 331, 15.12.2010, p. 84 3 OJ No. L 119, 4.5.2016, p.1 4 OJ No. L 201, 27.7.2012, p. 1 5 OJ No. L 173, 12.6.2014, p.190 6 OJ No. L 22, 22.1.2021, p. 1 7 OJ No. L 22, 22.1.2021, p. 1 1 OJ No. L 22, 22.01.2021, p.
