Location of the branch = 'Other countries' should be less than 5% of total gross written premiums reported for S.04.05 (S.04.05, EIOPA rule BV2085)

A warning on the activity by country - location of risk template (S.04.05), in the annual solo (ARS) return.

It applies to 2.8.2 returns too, the release for the 2026 returns, and Line4 Check runs it there as well.

The rule in plain words

Location of the branch = 'Other countries' should be less than 5% of total gross written premiums reported for S.04.05

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.04.05 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

The cells it reads

Activity by country - location of risk (S.04.05.01.02)

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
