Euro Conversion: Official Monthly Rates from the European Commission

This page provides the European Commission’s official monthly euro conversion rates, dating back to 1994. These rates, established by the Accounting Officer of the European Commission under Article 19 of the Financial Regulation, are used for calculating reimbursements for expenses, travel, and subsistence costs for external participants in Commission-requested meetings and interviews.

The converter utilizes market rates from the second-to-last day of the preceding month, sourced from the European Central Bank or, when unavailable, from delegations or other reliable sources. It allows users to access historical monthly currency conversion rates against the euro (or the ecu prior to December 1998).

InforEuro offers conversion rates for current and former currencies, both within and outside the European Union. These historical exchange rates are available electronically from March 1994 as downloadable files.
