1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A calculation check on MREL and TLAC capacity and composition (resolution groups / entities) (TLAC1) (M 02.00.a, EBA rule v22337_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

Ad hoc permissions for eligible liabilities items: Predetermined amount plus general prior permissions for eligible liabilities items: Predetermined amount cannot be less than the absolute value of (-) of which: unused prior permission amounts (under (-) own eligible liabilities instruments subordinated to excluded liabilities) plus (-) of which: unused prior permission amounts (under (-) own eligible liabilities instruments not subordinated to excluded liabilities).

All the values are in the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) column (0010) of M 02.00.a.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL): Ad hoc permissions for eligible liabilities items: Predetermined amount + General prior permissions for eligible liabilities items: Predetermined amount >= the absolute value of ((-) Own eligible liabilities instruments subordinated to excluded liabilities, (-) Of which: unused prior permission amounts + (-) Own eligible liabilities instruments not subordinated to excluded liabilities, (-) Of which: unused prior permission amounts)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Work out both sides from your file, as the rule in plain words sets out, and compare them.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark M 02.00 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
