All amounts are expressed in Nominal Euros, meaning that they are not subject to any updating process.
The situation reflected is that at 31 December 2008.
The amounts paid out include indemnities, interests and costs, but not loss adjustment fees or fees for lawyers involved in the claim, or amounts recovered.
They are amounts paid out, that is to say, they do not include provisions for claims that are still awaiting payment, adjustment or declaration, which will be included in subsequent statistics when the indemnities are made effective.
