Inventories (current assets)
These are reported net of the provision for impairment losses of €36 million (the same as at 31 December 2014). This provision relates mainly to the impairment loss (€30 million), recorded in 2014, on 0.4 billion cubic metres of natural gas used as part of the storage activities in relation to strategic gas unduly withdrawn by some users of the service during 2010 and 2011.
