Available-for-sale financial assets:are non-derivative financial instruments either designated in this category or notclassified in any of the other categories. These assets are measured at fair valueand the gains or losses arising from such valuation are recorded in an equity reserve;gains or losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive incomeonly when the asset is sold (or extinguished) or, in the case of cumulative negativechanges, when it is deemed that the impairment loss already recorded in equitycannot be recovered in the future. If the fair value cannot reasonably be determined,such assets are measured at cost adjusted by impairment losses extrapolatedfrom converging indicators which evidence the incapacity of the asset to recoverits original carrying amount. The classification between current and non-currentassets depends on the strategic choices concerning the duration of ownership ofthe asset and its effective negotiability: those expected to be disposed of within 12months from the end of the reporting period are accounted for in current assets.Financial assets are derecognised from the statement of financial position whenthe right to receive cash flows from the instrument expires and the company hassubstantially transferred all risks and rewards related to the instrument and itscontrol.InvestmentsInvestments in associates are accounted for using the equity method which providesfor the recognition, in a separate line of the statement of comprehensiveincome, of the Group’s share of the results of the companies in which a significantinfluence is exercised.Investments in third-party companies, in accordance with IAS 39 and IAS 32, aremeasured at fair value except in those cases when it is not available; in that case,cost is adopted. Gains or losses from adjustments in value are recognized as othercomponents of the statement of comprehensive income, accumulated in a specificequity reserve. If there is objective evidence that an asset may be impaired, thecumulative loss that was recorded in the statement of comprehensive income mustbe reclassified from equity to the result for the year as a reclassification adjustmenteven if the financial asset was not eliminated.59 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, <strong>2011</strong>
