The financial year’s amortizations and losses
for impairment totalled 12,9 million euros, 1,9

tangible and intangible assets recognized in
this financial year came to 3,2 million euros,
including 1,6 million euros corresponding to
the Sol units on the A29 and A11 where traffic
fell to extraordinarily low levels, leading us to
forecast serious operational problems in the
next few years.
