1 The calculation of the thresholds of the Agreem ent on Government Procurement, expressed in 
EUR and in national currencies, has been based on the average monthly SDR to EUR exchange rate over 
24 months from September 2001 through August 2003 (1 EUR = 0,746972 SDR). 
The value of the thresholds in EUR and in national currencies has been expressed without the 
value-added tax (VAT) because the Community exclud es VAT when calculating the value of contracts.
