In 2006 the General Meeting of Shareholders fixed the remuneration of the Supervisory Board at € 50,000 [2006: € 46,355] for its chairman and € 37,000 [2006: € 30,903] for its members with effect from the 2007 financial year.
For work performed in the Supervisory Board committees the following additional payments are applicable with effect from the 2007 financial year:

• Audit Committee, chairman € 7,000 and members € 5,000
• Other committees, chairman € 5,000 and members € 3,000

Up to and including the 2006 financial year no remuneration was granted in respect of work done in the committees.
The remuneration for any financial year is automatically increased if the Dutch CBS Price Index figure for household consumption in September of the preceding year is at least 10% higher than the index figure that was last used as a criterion. This increase corresponds to the percentage increase in the most recently published index figure.
For the 2007 financial year the total remuneration of the present and former members of the Supervisory Board amounted to € 255,335 [2006: € 226,973].
