Finally, on February 2, 2013, Royal Decree 2/2013 of February 1 on urgent measures related to the electric system and financial sector has been published and ratified by Spanish General Courts on February 14. Among other measures, this Royal Decree establishes an amendment starting in 2013 on the mechanism to update tariffs and premiums received by electricity suppliers in application of its sector regulation and several amendments to Royal Decree 661/2007, of May  25, that regulates electricity production activity under the special regime and under the regime derived from the latter.  These measures have meant a significant modification in the regulatory framework applicable to the electricity generation with thermo-solar technology in Spain.

Given that the afore-mentioned measures have been approved and made public after the date of these consolidated  financial statements and will be effective in 2013, they correspond to a circumstance occurred in the period 2013 and do not correspond to an evidence or confirmation of conditions that existed prior to the closing of the reporting period 2012. In consequence, under IAS 10 on “Events after the reporting period”, its potential impacts should be considered after the closing of the reporting period 2012. In accordance with the analysis performed by the Company on the potential  impacts that these measures could have, considering all the evidence available at the date of issuance of these  consolidated financial statements, Management has concluded that the analysis carried out do not indicate an  impairment in the carrying amount of assets related to thermo-solar electricity generation activity in Spain. As a result, the Company does not expect to have impairment losses nor any default in the financial obligations related to these  projects as a consequence of the measures established in Royal Decree 2/2013.
