Basic principles and methods

The unaudited and condensed interim financial statements as of June 30, 2024, are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as they are required to be applied in the European Union (EU) and their interpretation by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. The requirements of IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) have been followed. The accounting policies underlying the consolidated 2023 Group financial statements have been consistently applied for these interim financial statements.
