37. Subsequent events<br />
The Danish Minister of Taxation has in first quarter 2007 published a draft bill for public hearing. The proposed amendments in the<br />
draft bill are significant and include reduction of the statutory corporate tax rate, restrictions on the deduction of interest expenses and<br />
amendments to controlled foreign company (CFC) taxation. The impact on the Group depends on the final conditions of the bill.<br />
Primarily as a result of the substantial indebtness of <strong>ISS</strong> <strong>Global</strong> the bill is expected to have an adverse effect on the tax position in the<br />
Dansih part of the Group.<br />
Apart from the above and the events described in this <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, the Group is not aware of events subsequent to 31 December<br />
<strong>2006</strong>, which are expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial position.<br />
