The rule in plain words
None of the values it checks in mitigating actions can be negative.
EBA checks it for ten columns, from towards taxonomy relevant sectors (taxonomy-eligible) (0020) to enabling environmentally sustainable (taxonomy-aligned) (0160). And for twelve rows, from total GAR assets (0010) to total BTAR assets (0120). That makes 120 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark D 09.01 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.
Total GAR assets, towards taxonomy relevant sectors (taxonomy-eligible) must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
