identified as the "Internal Control and Audit Committee"
empowered by this decree to supervise the financial
reporting process, the effectiveness of the systems of
internal control, internal audit and risk management, the
statutory audit of the annual separate and consolidated
financial statements, and the independence of the external
auditing firm.
