Total unencumbered collateral received, securitisations issued by other entities of the group cannot be less than securitisations, issued by other entities of the group (EBA rule v3004_m)

A warning in the asset encumbrance return (AE), on templates F 32.02.a, asset encumbrance: encumbrance overview - collateral (a) and F 36.02.c, asset encumbrance: Advance template for colllateral and own debt secrities issued other than covered bonds or ABSs (c).

The rule in plain words

Total unencumbered collateral received, securitisations issued by other entities of the group cannot be less than securitisations, issued by other entities of the group.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_36.02.C: Total unencumbered collateral received, of which: issued by other entities of the group >= F_32.02.A: Of which: securitisations, Of which: issued by other entities of the group

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 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.
  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 F 36.02 and F 32.02 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Total unencumbered collateral received, securitisations issued by other entities of the group1,200
What the rule then expects

Securitisations, issued by other entities of the group can then be at most 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
