Bail-in impracticability notifications: every EBA validation rule in plain words (Notifications)

Resolution reporting gives resolution authorities the data to plan how a failing bank could be resolved in an orderly way: its legal entities, liabilities, critical functions and links to market infrastructure. MREL and TLAC reporting shows whether it holds enough capacity to absorb losses. Both use EBA templates and travel in XBRL.

EBA's 4.2 package has 8 validation rules for it. Line4 Check runs 7 of them (15 written-out checks): 0 can block a filing and 7 are warnings. 1 are not run yet.

The rules, by template

Each rule in plain words, its code in brackets. Open one for what to do if your filing fails it. A rule that reads more than one template is listed under the first.

Templates with no rule of their own

Rules on other templates can still read them.

Their EBA formulas need parts of the XBRL formula language Line4 Check does not cover yet. Your authority's validation runs them.
