RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
In 2003, certain dealings took place with related parties, in which members of the board of directors own a stake directly or
indirectly. In particular, IT consultancy services were provided by Kelyan S.p.A., in which Bernabè Franco S.p.A. holds a stake.
The cost of these services, which involved a datawarehouse project and installation of IT systems, was EUR 1.3 million, of which
EUR 1.1 million has already been paid. The services were charged at market prices.
Services costing a total of EUR 2.8 million were purchased from Interoute S.p.A. (formerly Eurostrade S.p.A., majority-owned
by Group shareholder, the Sandoz Foundation). In addition, the parent Company paid the Company EUR 4 million, partly for ser-
vices provided the previous year, while trade receivables in respect of Eurostrade total around EUR 500,000. The services pro-
vided (dark fibre and related maintenance) were charged at market prices. Shardna S.p.A. (controlled by shareholder and chair-
man Renato Soru) was invoiced for EUR 124,000 for a sub-lease on a Tiscali building in Cagliari. The invoice also passed on
costs incurred by the Company.
