The Committee is chaired by the Chairman of the Board, and one of the members is the Lead Independent Director. In 2017, the Executive Committee met on 11 occasions. All meetings were on the ordinary schedule, which is in line with the ordinary schedule of Board meetings, except for an additional Committee meeting held in January to consider the main points of the running of the Group’s business and review the provisional estimates for the 2016 year-end. 6.3.2. Audit and Control Committee The duties of the Audit and Control Committee include assisting the Board in supervising the financial reporting process, the company’s internal control, the work and independence of the external auditor, and the monitoring of the corporate governance and corporate responsibility principles and policies. Most Committee members are independent directors, including the Chair, and none of the members is an executive director. The Audit and Control Committee met six times in 2017, with attendance by the external auditor at three of the meetings. The external auditor also held a meeting with the full Board. 6.
