On March 26, 2009, on the occasion of the change in its internal regulations, the Board decided to disband the Strategy Committee. In effect, the latter had not met since 2007 and the Group's strategy is now being presented directly to the Board of Directors notably during the annual meeting dedicated to strategy.
