The rule in plain words
Own funds and eligible liabilities as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount cannot be less than own funds and subordinated liabilities.
All the values are in the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) column (0010) of M 01.00.

What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark M 01.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Own funds and subordinated liabilities can then be at most 1,200.
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.
