Local price limits

When maximum prices are denominated in other currencies other than the euro, the initial limits is calculated using the average of the reference exchange rates published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJoEU) on 15 January, 15 February and 15 March 2019. From 2020, the limits in currencies other than the euro is revised annually. The revised limits shall apply from 15 May using the average of the reference exchange rates published in the OJoEU on 15 January, 15 February and 15 March of that year.[2]
