plans, the obligation to state all the actuarial gains/losses within the sphere of the OCIs, with
consequent elimination of the so-called corridor approach. Furthermore, the new version of the
standard introduces more stringent regulations for the presentation of the data in the financial
statements, separating the cost - for the defined-benefit plans and for the other long-term benefits -
into three components (i.e. service cost, net interest on net assets/liabilities, re-measurement of the
net assets/liabilities); it introduces the calculation of the interest income in replacement of the return
expected on the assets serving a defined-benefit plan; it no longer allows one to defer the accounting
registration in the income statement for the past service cost; it extends the disclosure to be presented
in the financial statements; it introduces more detailed regulations for the recording of the termination
benefit.
IFRS 13 - Fair value valuation
This represents a transversal framework to be referred to each time other accounting standards
require or permit the application of the fair value approach. The standard provides a guide on how to
establish the fair value, also introducing specific disclosure requisites. The application, on a forecast
basis, of this standard has not had any significant impacts on these consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 7 – Offsetting financial assets and liabilities
The amendment requires the extension of the disclosure regarding the offsetting of financial assets
and liabilities, for the purpose of permitting the users of the financial statements to assess the effects,
including potential, of the netting agreements (including the netting rights associated with assets or
liabilities stated in the financial statements) on the financial position of the company. The Group
adopted these amendments as from 1 January 2013, retrospectively. The adoption of these
amendments has not had any effect on the disclosure included or on the amounts reported in these
financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred taxes : recovery of underlying assets
The amendment introduces a concession in the accounting registration of the deferred taxes on the
basis of the methods by means of which the book value of the underlying assets will be recovered.
This concession refers to the arrangements in which differentiated rates are envisaged according to
whether the company decides to sell rather than use these assets in its operating cycle. The
application, on a retroactive basis, of this amendment has not had any impacts on these financial
statements.
2009-2011 annual cycle of improvements to the international accounting standards

application has not had any impacts on these consolidated financial statements; In detail, the following
standards have been amended:

the previous year in addition to the minimum comparative disclosure schedules
required if:
