six places are used for EMU exchange rates. You must therefore maintain
the exchange rates with at least one place before the decimal point.

Move the decimal point in the exchange rate one or more places to the
right and increase the translation ratio accordingly. You can improve
your entry, for example, in the following way: &v1& euro = &v2& * &v3&
