The rule in plain words
The item "Country of residency" should be reported in Share of reinsurers (S.31.01) [including Finite Reinsurance and SPV's]
EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV934-1 and BV934-2), and a failure names the one that failed.
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your return. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.31.01 as reported.
- 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
