<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 />
