1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Other bailinable liabilities cannot be less than other bailinable liabilities governed by third country law (M 01.00, EBA rule v10740_m)

A warning in the loss-absorbing capacity return (MREL and TLAC), on template M 01.00, mREL and TLAC key metrics (resolution groups / entities) (KM2).

The rule in plain words

Other bailinable liabilities cannot be less than other bailinable liabilities governed by third country law.

All the values are in the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) column (0010) of M 01.00.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL): Other bailinable liabilities >= Of which governed by third country law

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark M 01.00 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

The cells it reads

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Other bailinable liabilities1,200
What the rule then expects

Other bailinable liabilities governed by third country law can then be at most 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
