Additional member states of the European Union may also convert their national currencies into the Euro. b. During the transition from national currencies to a single European Union currency, and after the Euro is in place, parties to international contracts and financial transactions will require a clear understanding of the terms and value of their transactions to conduct their business with fairness and certainty. c. There exists some uncertainty over the enforceability of certain contracts, securities and instruments that call for payment in a currency replaced by the Euro; this legislation is intended to ensure the continuity of these contracts.
