The single currency was introduced on 1 January 1999. For convenience and greater consistency, we have decided to denominate all amounts in this Report in euros, even for operations prior to that date. The symbo I '€' in this Report refers to the ecu in the case of amounts concerning the period before 1 January 1999 and to the euro from that date
