When a rate in euro in the tables below is marked with an *, it means that it is higher than the amount which results if we convert the amount in pounds using the conversion rate (€1=£0.585274). This is due to the fact that, according to the law for the adoption of the euro, when an amount in pounds, used in the national legislation in conformity with a Community directive which provides for minimum or maximum rates, is lower than the minimum or higher than the maximum rates provided by the Community directive, then the minimum or maximum, as the case may be, amount in euro will apply. Rates marked with an * are the minimum rates provided by the Community directive.
