The decrease in “Available-for-s<strong>al</strong>e and other securities” in <strong>2008</strong> was primarily due to the consolidation of companies acquired at<br />
the end of 2007. As explained in Note 1, these securities are measured at fair v<strong>al</strong>ue.<br />
The decrease in “Available-for-s<strong>al</strong>e and other securities” in 2006 was mainly due to the consolidation of Xugang, which was<br />
acquired by the Group at the end of 2005 (see Note 2).<br />
The net increase in provisions for impairment in <strong>2008</strong> reflects €5 million in additions (2007: €3 million; 2006: €3 million) and<br />
€3 million in revers<strong>al</strong>s (2007: €2 million; 2006: €7 million).<br />
