The increase in goodwill reflects the Group’s policy on external growth.
Goodwill is reviewed for each set of Annual Accounts in the light of changes
in the net sales of a subsidiary and its contribution to the net income of the
consolidated entity as a whole. Such goodwill may therefore be subject to
exceptional amortization or write-down, where applicable.
