2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Applicable weight cannot be negative (C 75.01.w, EBA rule v7694_s)

A warning in the liquidity coverage ratio return (LCR), on template C 75.01.w, liquidity coverage, collateral swaps, significant currencies (DA).

The rule in plain words

Applicable weight cannot be negative.

EBA checks it for 126 rows, from level 1 assets (excl. EHQ covered bonds) (0030) to other Level 2B (2700). That makes 126 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

Applicable weight: Level 2B: high quality covered bonds >= 0

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 75.01 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.
