Editing ISO 4217 (section)

=== Code position in amount formatting {{anchor|codeposition|PositionOfIso4217CodeInAmounts}} ===
The ISO standard does not regulate either the spacing, prefixing or suffixing in usage of currency codes. The [[style guide]] of the [[European Union]]'s Publication Office declares that, for texts issued by or through the Commission in [[English language in England|English]], [[Irish language|Irish]], [[Latvian language|Latvian]], and [[Maltese language|Maltese]], the ISO&nbsp;4217 code is to be followed by a "hard space" ([[non-breaking space]]) and the amount:<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-370303.htm#position |title=Interinstitutional style guide |chapter=7.3.3.

:''a sum of EUR&nbsp;30'' 
and for texts in [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]], [[Croatian language|Croatian]], [[Czech language|Czech]], [[Danish language|Danish]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Estonian language|Estonian]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], [[French language|French]], [[German language|German]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Lithuanian language|Lithuanian]], [[Polish language|Polish]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Romanian language|Romanian]], [[Slovak language|Slovak]], [[Slovene language|Slovene]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], and [[Swedish language|Swedish]] the order is reversed; the amount is followed by a non-breaking space and the ISO&nbsp;4217 code:
:''une somme de 30&nbsp;EUR''
As illustrated, the order is determined not by the currency but by the native language of the document context.
