Article 2 Public disclosure formats

When disclosing the information referred to in this Regulation figures reflecting monetary amounts shall be disclosed in thousands of units.

4. When expressing the value of any income or expense, the value shall be converted in the reporting currency using such basis of conversion as that used for accounting purposes.
