The rule in plain words
Commodities cannot be less than these seven added up:
- Commodities based on energy
- Commodities based on grains
- Commodities based on softs
- Commodities based on livestock
- Commodities based on other precious metals
- Commodities based on industry metals
- Commodities based on gold
All the values are in the amount or market value column (0010) of Q 03.01.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
Commodities >= of which: based on energy + of which: based on grains + of which: based on softs + of which: based on livestock + of which: based on other precious metals + of which: based on industry metals + of which: based on gold
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark Q 03.01 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Commodities must then be at least 3,060.
A file that reports 3,060 passes. One that reports 2,960 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
