31.- Environmental matters<br />

The Acciona <strong>Group</strong> carries out environmental management activities and projects in accordance<br />

with its environmental strategy and policy, environmental protection being the backbone of this<br />

strategy. The main environmental projects, by division, were as follows:<br />

A) INFRASTRUCTURE. The environmental activity expenses recognised directly in the<br />

income statement amounted to EUR 34,851 thousand in 2011 (2010: EUR 3,470<br />

thousand).<br />

B) TRANSPORT. Expenses of an environmental nature in 2011 amounted to EUR 4,734<br />

thousand (2010: EUR 2,014 thousand) and environmental investments in 2011 amounted<br />

to EUR 447 thousand.<br />

In 2011 Acciona Trasmediterránea was granted a reduction in its levies as a result of the<br />

improvements in environmental conditions, beyond the requirements of the applicable<br />

legislation. Compliance with these requirements was verified using an environmental<br />

management system. This reduction in the levies for port concessions/facility activities<br />

amounted to EUR 163 thousand.<br />
