Major sales decrease in the US (-3 ME, on lower sales and FX), Portugal and France; significant sales growth in China (+1.1 $M\epsilon$ ) and Middle East;
EBITDA reached 11.7 ME, a decrease of 21%, reflecting a less favorable product mix, higher raw material (cork and non-cork) and operating costs and an increase of impairments;
