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 />
