4. Questions to the EBA (1)
Q1: How will FS restatements be managed on templates.
A1 (from EBA): If audit is not completed then unaudited figures may be submitted, and corrected figures will be submitted when available.
Q2: For ‘Entity type’ included in R01.00, if multiple licences are held by a firm, how is this to be populated?
A2 (from EBA): Banks will report only one type, in priority the ‎first type applicable in the list. E.g if the entity is a credit institution then no other type is reported.
Q3: Can further definition be provided in the Instructions for ‘Share Capital’ within R01.00 (i.e. paid and unpaid)?
A3 (from EBA): Share capital should exclude reserves.

5. Questions to the EBA (2)
Q4: What is reasoning behind the inclusion of the detail ( ) on MREL template, if these liabilities are not to be used in any case for Bail-In.
A4: (from EBA): RAs are required to have a good overview of what is not, both to calculate MREL, implement bail in, and implement transfer strategies.
Q5: Given the difficulties that firms may have in getting detail on counterparties, the reasoning behind the split of counterparties (specifically 020 and 030).
A5: This is required by the RA to understand what bail-inable liabilities are available and who the counterparties are
Q6: Does the EBA consider that the application of MREL will require changes to client wording on terms and conditions?
A6 (from EBA): TBC’d – further EBA engagement required

6. Questions to the EBA (3)
Q7: Can an example be provided on the Instruction of what ‘Code’ is to be used for R05.01 and R05.02?
A7: (from EBA): Codes instructions have been harmonised on instructions‎: LEI as a matter of priority.
Q8: Does the EBA consider that the application of MREL will require changes to client wording on terms and conditions?
A8 (From EBA): It is proposed that BRRD2 addresses this but this is to be confirmed as text is not finalised.

7. Follow-Up Questions from Industry
Q1: Capital Buffers – are these envisaged to be factored in to the calculation of the “Informative MREL”?
A2: Informative MREL will include capital buffers where they become a regulatory requirement – the RCU will send formal to each firm on this (including interim deadline). For the 2019 MREL review buffers may not be included for recapitalisation amount (ie potential upside)
Q2: ICAAP – is this envisaged to be factored in to the calculation of the “Informative MREL”?
A2: Informative MREL is to be calculated using regulatory capital requirement (not including any additional internal specific capital buffers etc)
Q3: Commitment Guarantee – have there been any further discussions on the possibility of commitment guarantees from other group entities as an alternative to the requirement to hold capital?
A3: These may form part of BRRD2 but likely (if included) to only be relevant for Internal MREL firms (to be monitored by RCU)
