The property, plant and equipment increased from €10.1 million as at 31 December 2014 to €13.8 million as at 31 December 2015. This increase is mainly the result of new additions of €6.1 million, partly compensated by a depreciation charge of €2.4 million. The sales and disposals in 2015 relate to the move to new premises in France and the Netherlands.

There are no pledged items of property, plant and equipment. There are also no restrictions in use on any items of property, plant and equipment.
