Combined buffer requirement used for the calibration cannot be less than countercyclical capital buffer (EBA rule v10733_m)

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 10 June 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.
