Trade payables include around Euro 176 million (Euro 183
million at 31 December 2013) for the supply of strategic metals
(copper, aluminium and lead), whose payment terms, in some
cases, are longer than normal for this type of transaction.
Advances from customers report the liability for construction
contracts, amounting to Euro 286 million at 31 December 2014
compared with Euro 155 million at 31 December 2013. This
liability represents the gross amount by which work invoiced
exceeds costs incurred plus accumulated profits (or losses)
recognised using the percentage of completion method.
Payables to employees at 31 December 2014 have decreased
following settlement of the liability for the Long-term
incentive plan 2011-2013, amounting to Euro 36 million at 31
December 2013.
