Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total unadjusted level 1 extremely high quality covered bonds must equal these three added up:

  • Qualifying CIU shares or units: underlying is extremely high quality covered bonds
  • Extremely high quality covered bonds
  • Central institutions: Level 1 EHQ covered bonds which are considered liquid assets for the depositing credit institution

All the values are in the value according to Article 9 column (0040) of C 72.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Value according to Article 9: Total unadjusted level 1 extremely high quality covered bonds = Qualifying CIU shares/units: underlying is extremely high quality covered bonds + Extremely high quality covered bonds + Central institutions: Level 1 EHQ covered bonds which are considered liquid assets for the depositing credit institution

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 72.00 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

Extremely high quality covered bonds800
Central institutions: Level 1 EHQ covered bonds which are considered liquid assets for the depositing credit institution450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Total unadjusted level 1 extremely high quality covered bonds must then be 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,550Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.

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