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

The sum of two rows cannot be more than aggregated total number of identified staff of these institutions (EBA rule v12552_m)

A check in the approved higher bonus ratios, by country return (REM higher ratios), on template R 08.00, approved higher ratios between variable and fixed remuneration – aggregation by competent authorities.

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

Aggregated total number of identified staff potentially benefitting from an approved ratio above 100% plus aggregated total number of identified staff that has been in fact awarded a remuneration that leads to a ratio of variable to fixed remunera cannot be more than aggregated total number of identified staff of these institutions.

All the values are in the aggregation by competent authority column (0010) of R 08.00.
