2  PERIOD OF VALIDITY F OR THE THRESHOLD  
The threshold levels provided above will apply to the period starting on 1 January 2018 and ending 
on 31 December 2019. 
 
3  METHOD OF CALCULATIO N 
The calculation of the thresholds of the Agreement on Governmen t Procurement, expressed in 
Euro (EUR) and in national currencies, has been based on the average monthly Special Drawing 
Right (SDR) to EUR exchange rate over 24  months from September  2015 through August  2017 
(SDR 1  = EUR 1, 25387 ). 
 
The value of the thresholds in Euro and in national currencies  has been expressed without the 
value -added tax (VAT) because the European Union excludes VAT when calculating the value of 
contracts.
