Impairment review of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when
events or circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of
the asset (or group of assets to which it belongs) may be impaired:
•
the recoverable amount corresponds to the higher of the market
value and value in use;
•
value in use is estimated on the basis of the discounted cash flows
that the asset (or group of assets to which it belongs) is expected
to generate over its estimated useful life in the conditions of use
determined by the Group;
•
market value corresponds to the estimated net selling price that
could be obtained by the Group in an arm's length transaction.
An impairment provision is recognized when the recoverable amount
of the asset proves to be lower than its carrying amount.
