1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A conditional check on internal MREL and internal TLAC (ILAC) (M 03.00, EBA rule v22546_m)

A warning in the loss-absorbing capacity return (MREL and TLAC), on template M 03.00, internal MREL and internal TLAC (ILAC).

The rule in plain words

If ratio of holdings of own funds instruments issued by liquidation entities over eligible own funds and eligible liabilities is more than 0 and at most 0.07, own funds instruments issued by liquidation entities of the same resolution group must be more than zero, and (-) of which: own funds instruments issued by liquidation entities must be zero.

All the values are in the internal MREL column (0010) of M 03.00.

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.

Internal MREL: If Ratio of holdings of own funds instruments issued by liquidation entities over eligible own funds and eligible liabilities > 0 and Ratio of holdings of own funds instruments issued by liquidation entities over eligible own funds and eligible liabilities <= 0.07, then (Own funds instruments issued by liquidation entities of the same resolution group > 0 and (-) of which: Own funds instruments issued by liquidation entities = 0)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your file. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark M 03.00 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.
