3.8 Provisions
Accounting policies
Provisions are recognised when, due to an event occurring on or before
the reporting date, the Group has a legal or constructive obligation and it
is probable that the Group will have to give up future economic benefits
to meet the obligation.
Provisions are measured on the basis of Management's best estimate of
the anticipated expenditure for settlement of the relevant obligation and
are discounted if deemed material.
Management judgements and estimates
Management continually assesses provisions, including contingencies and
the likely outcome of pending and potential legal proceedings. The out-
come of such proceedings depends on future events, which are, by na-
ture, uncertain.
When considering provisions involving significant estimates, opinions and
estimates by external legal experts as well as existing case law are applied
in assessing the probable outcome of material legal proceedings, etc.
Provisions
Provisions have not been discounted, as the effect thereof is immaterial.
Provisions are expected to be settled within two years in all material
respects.
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs relate mainly to the integration of acquirees and the
restructuring plans previously announced, which consist mainly of termina-
tion benefits and costs under terminated leases.
Disputes and legal actions
Provisions for disputes and legal actions relate mainly to probable liabilities
taken over at the acquisition of enterprises.
