Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Income Information per geographic area In order to provide a clearer understanding of the Group's activities, it has been decided that with effect from 2000 information will be furnished per segment. As just one product group, namely beer, accounts for more than 80% of the Group's net turnover, the financial information will be seg mented by geographic area only. The four regions distinguished being: Europe, Western Hemi sphere, Africa and the Middle East and Asia Pacific. As nearly all production facilities for exports are located in Europe, the results of these activities will be reported under Europe. The results and assets per region are given in the table below.
