2  PERIOD OF VALIDITY FOR THE THRESHOLD  
The threshold levels provided above will apply to the period starting on 1 January 20 22 and ending 
on 31 December 20 23. 
3  METHOD OF CALCULATION  
The calculation of the thresholds of the Agreement on Government Procurement, expressed in 
Euro (EUR) and in national currencies, has been based on the average daily Special Drawing Right 
(SDR) to EUR exchange rate over 24  months from 1 September  2019 through 31 August  2021 
(SDR 1 = EUR 1.21635 ). 
The value of the thresholds in Euro and in national cu rrencies has been expressed without the 
value -added tax (VAT) , because the European Union excludes VAT when calculating the value of 
contracts.
