1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

The sum of two rows cannot be more than total number of identified staff (outcome of the yearly identification process) (EBA rule v12539_m)

A check in the approved higher bonus ratios, by institution return (REM higher ratios), on template R 07.00, approved higher ratios between variable and fixed remuneration – institutions.

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

Total number of identified staff potentially benefitting from an approved ratio above 100% plus total number of identified staff that has been in fact awarded a remuneration that leads to a ratio of variable to fixed remuneration above cannot be more than total number of identified staff (outcome of the yearly identification process).

All the values are in the value column (0010) of R 07.00.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
