6.2.1.3 Interest rate risk<br />

A detailed description of the Group’s interest rate risk<br />

management policy is set out in section 2.1.4, page 57 .<br />

Exposure to interest rate risk<br />

The Group uses interest rate swaps to convert the interest<br />

rates on its debt into either a variable or a fixed rate, either<br />

at origination or during the term of the loan. Cash and cash<br />

equivalents are mainly invested in variable-rate instruments.<br />

Debt is essentially at fixed rates.<br />

The interest rate derivatives used by the Group to hedge<br />

against changes in the value of its fixed-rate debt are<br />

designated as fair value hedges under IAS 39. These<br />

derivatives are recorded at fair value in the statement of<br />

<strong>2011</strong> <strong>Registration</strong> D ocument - VALEO<br />

financial position, with changes in fair value taken to income.<br />

For the effective portion of the hedge, the impact on income<br />

is offset by a symmetrical revaluation of the hedged item.<br />

On August 5, 2009, the Group set up an interest rate swap<br />

to hedge the variable-rate interest on its EIB loan. This<br />

derivative was designated as a cash flow hedge. The fair<br />

value of the swap is initially recognized in the statement of<br />

financial position, with subsequent changes in fair value taken<br />

to other comprehensive income until the hedged interest falls<br />

due. At December 31, <strong>2011</strong>, the impact in stockholders’<br />

equity of changes in the fair value of this swap was a negative<br />

1 million euros.<br />

At the end of the reporting period, the Group’s net interest rate position based on nominal values can be analyzed as follows:<br />
