Lafarge Zement, the German cement subsidiary of the Group, confirms having
received a visit of representatives from the BundesKartellamt last March 9th,
like other companies which appealed the BundesKartellamt’s decision announced
early 2003.
Lafarge Group indicates that thorough actions were taken, among which the
training of employees and the distribution of a Code of Business Conduct, to
ensure that each employee, particularly within the European Union, acts in the
greatest respect of competition rules.
Lafarge Group is fully confident in the outcome of this recent visit as well as
of the ongoing appeal.
