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.<br />

The <strong>Group</strong> has taken out insurance policies to cover the possible risks to which its property, plant<br />

and equipment are subject and the claims that might be filed against it for carrying on its business<br />

activities. These policies are considered to adequately cover the related risks.<br />

The carrying amount of the <strong>Group</strong>'s property, plant and equipment includes EUR 305<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 />

which have been mortgaged to secure repayment of the loans granted by a bank. The acquisition<br />

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

The <strong>Group</strong> has mortgaged land and buildings totalling EUR 35 million (2010: EUR 23 million) to<br />

secure credit facilities granted to the <strong>Group</strong> by banks. In addition, at 31 December 2011, certain<br />

vessels with a carrying amount of EUR 340 million (2010: EUR 361 million) had been mortgaged<br />

to secure repayment of the loans received for their acquisition.<br />
