Regulated business operating costs
Controllable fixed costs17 amounted to €456 million, a reduction of €9 million, or 1.9%, compared to 201018 as a result of efficiency measures taken, which have allowed the target of approximately €80 million in savings, compared to 2008 in real terms and on the same business perimeter, to be achieved one year ahead of schedule.
Other costs, of €493 million, mainly consist of the costs of construction and upgrading of distribution infrastructures (€360 million), entered pursuant to IFRIC 12, and expenses offset in income primarily relating to connection costs (€47 million). Net of the effects of IFRIC 12, other costs amounted to €133 million, up €24 million, equal to 22%, from 2010 due primarily to the greater expenses for legal disputes (€30 million).
