indicators defined at the time by the Internal Control Work Group in its "Guide for
the preparation of the description of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting
system", in the indicators referring to the Control Environment, Information and
Notification and Supervision of the System's functioning, an action plan was
implemented to put into place a series of improvements to enhance the ICFR in line
with the recommendations published.

periodically been informed of the situation of the ICFR and of the action plan
implemented.
