1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Deductions must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v10764_m)

A warning in the loss-absorbing capacity return (MREL and TLAC), on template M 02.00.a, mREL and TLAC capacity and composition (resolution groups / entities) (TLAC1) (I).

The rule in plain words

(-) deductions must equal (-) exposures between MPE resolution groups plus (-) investments in other eligible liabilities instruments.

All the values are in the requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for G-SIIs (TLAC) column (0020) of M 02.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for G-SIIs (TLAC): (-) Deductions = (-) Exposures between MPE resolution groups + (-) Investments in other eligible liabilities instruments

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark M 02.00 as reported.
  6. 06This 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.

Illustrative values
(-) exposures between MPE resolution groups1,200
(-) investments in other eligible liabilities instruments800

What the rule then expects

(-) deductions must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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