OTHER CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES AND

NOTE 7

PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND LITIGATION

A provision is booked when (i) the Group has a present legal

or constructive obligation towards a third party as a result of

a past event, (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources

will be required to settle the obligation, and (iii) the amount

of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

If the amount or due date of the obligation cannot be

estimated with sufficient reliability, it is classified as a

contingent liability and reported as an off-balance sheet

commitment.

Provisions for other material liabilities and charges whose

timing can be estimated reliably are discounted to present

value.
