Overall, foreign exchange effects are expected to result in a net negative impact of €35 million on a full year basis.
The scope of consolidation effects resulted from external growth transactions, which were completed in 2008 as follows:

In 2009, the Group is expected to report operating margin erosion due to poor results achieved in Europe and especially in France.
Therefore EBITA - excluding non-recurring items should be included between €154 and 155 million, i.e., 8.5% of revenues versus 10.2% in 2008.
