Notes relating to countries, territories and currencies

Footnotes in italics concern only the English version.

(1)
‘Country code’ column: ISO 3166 alpha-2, except for Greece and the United Kingdom (use EL and UK respectively instead of GR
and GB). See also Sections 7.1.1 (Designations and abbreviations to use), 7.1.2(Country listing order) and Annex A6 (Country and
territory codes).
(2)
‘Currency’ column: CFA franc (BCEAO) = franc de la Communauté financière africaine (African Financial Community franc) issued
by the Banque centrale des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest; CFA franc (BEAC) = franc de la Coopération financière en Afrique centrale

Member States’. The preferred form in texts of the European Union is ‘cent’ (obligatory in all legal texts). Subunits indicated
in square brackets are no longer in circulation (but have not officially been withdrawn).
