note 
The table above analyses sales by the geographical
region from which the products and services originate. Inter-regional
sales are those made between Group companies in different regions. Discontinued
operations relate to the withdrawal of the Group from the television business
following the disposal of its 22% interest in the RTL Group on 30 January
2002.
