13. SEGMENT REPORTING

The following information is provided for the reportable segments, which are separately disclosed in the financial statements and is regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision makers.

Segments were determined based on the Group's legal structure, as the Group's chief operating decision makers review financial information separately reported by the parent company (OTE) and each of the Group's consolidated subsidiaries.

Using the quantitative thresholds OTE, Cosmote and, Romtelecom, have been determined as reportable segments. Information about operating segments that do not constitute reportable segments have been combined and disclosed in an "All Other" category.

Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those followed for the preparation of the financial statements. The Group evaluates segment performance based on operating income before depreciation and amortization, operating income and profit for the period.

Segment information and reconciliation to the Group's consolidated figures are as follows:
