Policy on non-audit services provided by the auditor

        To safeguard the independence of the audit process, non-audit services provided by the auditor are limited to defined audit-related work and tax services that fall within specific categories. Additionally, all such services must be pre-approved by the committee. These services have been substantially reduced in 2004 but overall fees paid to Ernst & Young have increased, since audit fees have risen significantly across the market due to the increased regulatory burden on listed companies.
