<strong>Group</strong> sales volumes decreased in <strong>2010</strong>.<br />

In cement and clinker, the fall in sales volumes arose largely in Central Western Europe,<br />

Egypt, Bulgaria and in Trading. Performance in North America was stable, while Asia<br />

reported progress, driven by higher sales volumes on all domestic markets, with important<br />

growth rates in China and Kazakhstan.<br />

The aggregates sector was affected by the sharp decline in the fourth quarter. The fullyear<br />

downturn arose on all markets with the exception of North America, although here<br />

absolute sales values were low.<br />

In ready mixed concrete the decrease in sales volumes was marginal, thanks to the<br />

healthy performance of the emerging countries (notably Turkey and Thailand), which offset<br />

the downturn in Central Western Europe.<br />
