Payables to the Cassa Conguaglio Settore Elettrico (Electricity Equalisation Fund) (€141 million) concern accessory tariff components that mainly relate to: (i) the transportation business segment (special tariffs for gas sector customers experiencing hardship and measures and steps for energy savings and the development of renewable sources in the natural gas sector), pursuant to Electricity and Gas Authority Resolutions ARG/com 93/10 and ARG/gas 177/10 (€108 million); (ii) to the storage segment (coverage of the equalisation imbalances account), pursuant to Resolution 50/06 (€21 million); (iii) the distribution segment (energy savings, gas service quality, equalisation imbalances and disadvantaged customers), mainly pursuant to Resolution ARG/gas 159/08 (€12 million).

Payables to the government (€20 million) primarily involve payables to municipalities for concession fees for the distribution business.

The fair value measurement of trade and other payables has no material impact given the short period of time between when the payable arises and its due date.
