Dutch term or phrase: niet zonder meer
this is from a legal document and the 'niet' is what's throwing me off....context: Hoewel op XXX and/or YYY de plicht rust US$000 te voldoen, nemen XXX and YYY het standpunt in dat zij met een beroep op de Pesificatiewet kunnen volstaan met betaling van aaa (bedrag) in Argentijnse Pesos. Dat is echter ***niet zonder meer*** het effect van de Pesificatiewet.
Does this mean this is not the only effect of this particular law???
TIA!

Geez, this was a really tough call - I ultimately chose Jarry's answer because of what follows on the page after this sentence - basically a list of exceptions and other issues which ultimately make Jarry's answer the best within the context. Thanks to everyone for their input!

Explanation:
My reading of this phrase gives something along the lines of "However, this is not necessarily what the [new peso law] means". Alternatively, it could be taken to mean "However, there's more to the [new peso law] than this alone", i.e. there's more involved than simply converting from dollars to pesos.
