Building on the results of the comprehensive IC and RM review and evaluation process carried out in 2005, EADS will critically assess the results over the course of 2006. As a result of the ongoing monitoring activities of the IC and RM systems’ effectiveness, such as the self-assessments and the Internal Audit’s review, further enhancements and modifications to the IC and RM systems are expected throughout 2006. These enhancements and modifications are intended to ensure that EADS continues to operate in accordance with global best IC and RM practices.
