Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on them based on our limited review. We have conducted our limited review in accordance with international standards on auditing. A limited review consists mainly of holding discussions with senior managers in charge of accounting and finance, and carrying out analysis work. This work is less extensive than that required by an audit according to international auditing standards. As a result, a limited review provides a moderate level of assurance, a lower level of assurance than that provided by an audit, that the FINANCIAL statements as a whole are free of material misstatement. On the basis of our limited review, we have not seen any significant anomalies that would make any material aspect of the summary interim consolidated FINANCIAL statements non-compliant with IAS 34 (IFRS standard relating to interim FINANCIAL reporting, as adopted by the European Union).

9 We have also examined comments contained in the interim REPORT on the summary interim consolidated FINANCIAL statements on which we carried out our limited review, in accordance with international auditing standards. We are satisfied that the information is presented fairly and corresponds to the summary consolidated half-year FINANCIAL statements.
