Increase in ready?mix volume from our

Croatian operations was offset by declines in

Spain, Egypt and UAE

l f d fl d

In Spain, volumes of our products reflected

the adoption of austerity measures which

have affected infrastructure spending as well

as continued high inventories in the

residential sector

In Egypt during the quarter, volumes

dampened by low infrastructure activity; the

informal sector continues to be the main

driver for cement demand
