How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Total EU area, of which Loans collateralised by residential immovable property, > 300; <= 400 + Total EU area, of which Loans collateralised by residential immovable property, > 400; <= 500 + Total EU area, of which Loans collateralised by residential immovable property, > 500 + Total non-EU area, of which Loans collateralised by residential immovable property, > 300; <= 400 + Total non-EU area, of which Loans collateralised by residential immovable property, > 400; <= 500 + Total non-EU area, of which Loans collateralised by residential immovable property, > 500 >= 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 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 02.00 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.
