Search for Q&As

Enquirers can use various factors to search for a Q&A:

  • These include searching by the Q&A ID; legal reference, date submitted, technical standard / guideline, or by keyword if known.
  • Searches can be extended to more than one legal act, topic, technical standard or guidelines by making multiple selections (i.e. pressing 'Ctrl' on your keyboard, and selecting the relevant ones from the drop-down lists by left mouse-click).

Disclaimer:

Q&As refer to the provisions in force on the day of their publication. The EBA does not systematically review published Q&As following the amendment of legislative acts. Users of the Q&A tool should therefore check the date of publication of the Q&A and whether the provisions referred to in the answer remain the same.

Please note that the Q&As related to the supervisory benchmarking exercises have been moved to the dedicated handbook page. You can submit Q&As on this topic here.

Validation rule v8821_m

The validation rule defines that in the event that column 020 of the template is valorised with the identification code indicating LEI code (eba_qCO:qx2000) then column 030 must be valorised with a LEI code.In reality, column 020 indicates the type of code to identify the third-party ICT service provider indicated in column 010. Consequently, shouldn't the validation rule be correct that the check should be made on column 010 and not 030?
