B.1.35 Please specify any mechanisms established by the Company to ensure the
independence of its auditor, financial analysts, investment banks and rating agencies.
It is the task of the Audit Committee to carry the relations with the external auditors in order to
receive information on those matters which may place the independence of the latter at risk and
any other matters related to the auditing process, as well as such other communications
provided by auditing laws and the technical rules of auditing.
The Audit Committee proposes to the Board of Directors, for submission to the General
Shareholders’ Meeting, the appointment of the external auditors, as well as their contracting
conditions, the scope of their professional mandate and, as the case may be, their revocation or
non-renewal.
The auditors customarily participate in meetings of the Audit Committee and, at the request of
the latter, may hold meetings with the Committee without the presence of the management
team. The Committee has exercised this right in 2011.
The Audit Committee receives from the auditors, on an annual basis, written confirmation of
their independence vis-à-vis any directly or indirectly related entity or entities, as well as
information on the additional services of any kind provided to these entities by the aforesaid
auditors or companies, and issues, also on an annual basis, prior to the issue of the audit
report, a report stating its opinion on the independence of the auditors or audit companies.
There are no special conditions relating to relationships with financial analysts, investment
banks and rating agencies and these entities operate fully independently of the Company. The
information disclosed by the Company complies with the principles of transparency and
fairness; the information is true, clear, quantified and complete and contains no subjective
assessments that are or may be misleading.
B.1.36 Please specify whether the Company changed its external auditor during the year. If so,
please identify the incoming and outgoing auditor:
NO
