3. Metro French Canada discussions



The  discussion with our partner in Metro French Canada for a full divestment of
the Metro equity stake, and with a subsequent change into a franchise operation,
is  ongoing and should be concluded in the near future. The transaction will not
have any significant financial impact due to the size of the operation.
