At 31 December 2011, the <strong>Group</strong> companies had commitments to acquire property, plant and<br />
equipment amounting to EUR 334 million, mainly for wind farm and solar thermal plant projects<br />
undertaken in the Energy division. The commitments at 31 December 2010 totalled EUR 581<br />

million/gross (2010: EUR 394 million) in respect of assets held under finance leases. A portion of<br />
this amount relates to certain vessels belonging to the Compañía Trasmediterránea Subgroup<br />

cost of these vessels is EUR 82 million (2010: EUR 163 million).<br />
