1.The principles applied when extrapolating the relevant risk free interest rate term structure shall be the same for all currencies.

3.Where insurance and reinsurance undertakings apply [F1a matching adjustment], the extrapolation shall be based on the risk-free interest rates without a matching adjustment. The matching adjustment F2... shall be applied to the extrapolated risk-free interest rates.
