Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Gross carrying amount (Mln EUR) cannot be less than environmentally sustainable (CCM) plus exposures towards companies excluded from EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks in accordance with Article 12(1) points (d) to (g) and Artic.

All the values are in the exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change row (0010) of D 01.00.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change, Gross carrying amount (Mln EUR) >= Exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change, Of which environmentally sustainable (CCM) + Exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change, Of which exposures towards companies excluded from EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks in accordance with Article 12(1) points (d) to (g) and Artic

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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 D 01.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values

exposures towards companies excluded from EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks in accordance with Article 12(1) points (d) to (g) and Artic800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Gross carrying amount (Mln EUR) must then be at least 2,000.

2,000Passes
1,900Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 1,900 fails, by 100.

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