We receive the formal CCI approval from the Indian authorities for our acquisition of Larsen & Toubro Electrical and Automation business, which we expect to close in the next several months. We continue to work on our target of €1.5 – €2.0 billion (USD $1.67 – $2.23 billion) of revenues to be reviewed over the period 2019-2021, completing the disposal of Pelco and U.S. panels in H1.
