Consistency of validation rule v3017_m
What is the rationale of the validation rule regarding the subset of 'central bank eligible' collaterals among non-encumbered collateral received between AE-ADV-2 (F 36.02) and AE-COL (F 32.02), where non-encumbered collateral received are reported under a different presentation structure?

Adequacy of the validation rule v10684_m - Instruments not at FVPL
v10684_m foresees a reconciliation between F 12.01 and F 02.01 in respect of gains/losses from financial instruments not at FVPL.
Why is this validation rule expected to work, considering that (a) it encompasses debt instruments at amortized cost, which are identified as purchased or originated credit impaired assets (POCI) or are attributable to Stage 3 at the date of de-recognition and (b) it encompasses debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income?

Relation between posted cash variation margin in derivative transactions reported in C 47.00, rows 0071, 0190 and 0210
We kindly ask EBA to confirm our understanding regarding the consideration of cash variation margin in C 47.00 or if our understanding is not correct, please give detailed instructions how to consider the variation margin in data points: {0071; 0010}, {0190; 0010}, {0210; 0010} in C 47.00.
(1) By EBA Q&A 2020_5617, the EBA has stated that, preliminary, in data point {0071; 0010} of C 47.00 the value of net eligible cash variation margin received or posted shall be reported according to Article 275 CRR. The amount to be reported here shall be limited to the amount that reduces the replacement cost given in cell {0061; 0010} to zero. Both amounts in {0061; 0010} and {0071; 0010} are multiplied with the factor 1.4. Hence, the amounts of net cash variation margin received or posted reported in {0071;0010} are entirely part of the replacement cost calculation according to Article 275 CRR. We kindly ask EBA for confirmation or correction.
(2) According to Annex XI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 receivables for cash variation margin provided where recognized under the operative accounting framework shall also be reported among other assets in position {0190; 0010} of C 47.00, with its valuation according to Article 429b(1) in conjunction with Article 111(1) CRR. Thus, the bank would report in this cell the posted cash variation margin with its accounting value after specific credit risk adjustments and how it’s recognized on the balance sheet, regardless of the treatment of cash variation margin in the positions {0061; 0010} and {0071; 0010} and regardless of the conditions of Article 429c (3) points (a) to (e) CRR. We kindly ask EBA for confirmation or correction.
(3) Annex XI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 stated that in data point {0210; 0010} of C 47.00 receivables for variation margin paid in cash to the counterparty in derivatives transactions have to be reported, if the institution is required, under the applicable accounting framework, to recognize these receivables as an asset, provided that the conditions in points (a) to (e) of Article 429c(3) CRR are met. Additionally, the amount reported shall also be included in the other assets reported in {0190;0010}.
Regarding to this instruction, we wonder if the amount to be reported in {0210; 0010} has to be the amount according to Article 429b(1) in conjunction with Article 111(1) CRR (thus its accounting value after specific credit risk adjustments) or the amount calculated in accordance with Article 275 CRR multiplied by the alpha factor of 1.4. But if the amount calculated in accordance with Article 275 CRR has to be reported in {0210; 0010}, due to volatility adjustments on the variation margin, this amount could be higher than the carrying amount of the variation margin posted, reported in {0190; 0010}. This would result in a negative effect on the total leverage ratio exposure measures in {0290; 0010} and {0300; 0010}.
Further, it is stated that the amount reported in {0210; 0010} also has to be included in {0190; 0010}. Does that mean the amount of cash variation margin posted included in both data points has to be equal?
We kindly ask EBA for clarification and answering the question. The credit institution is not subject to NICA and applies German nGAAP.

v09821_m, v09823_m - Hedging sets
In template C 34.03, the columns current market value (CMV), positive (c0050) and Current market value (CMV), negative (c0060) are to be presented on hedging set level and shall be determined by netting positive and negative market values of the transactions within one hedging set gross of any collateral held or posted.
In order to comply with requirements, the CMVs are to be presented on hedging set level. While this is possible for calculating each risk category (e.g. Equity risk (r0230, c0050, c0060), there is a potential issue with split of the given risk category into single- and multi-name transactions (e.g. for Equity risk: r0250, r0260, c0050, c0060). The hedging sets can contain both single and multi-name transactions. How to approach a possible situation where in an extreme case e.g. CMV on the hedging set can be positive, but all single name transaction-level MV are negative, therefore the positive CMV would actually be negative?
Is it possible to calculate CMV splitting the hedging sets into single and multi-name hedging sub-sets, then determining the CMV on those hedging sub-sets? In this case, the netting of positive and negative market values will happen only within the hedging sub-sets.

FINREP - Treatment of cash collateral
In an earlier issued answer (Q&A 2020_5279), it was advised that cash collaterals on derivatives should be reported as part of 'Financial assets at amortised cost' [F 01.01, r183, c010].
Should cash collaterals on other products, for instance reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements (repos & reverse repos) be treated similarly?
