In 2007, all of Colas' business activities again enjoyed buoyant markets,
spurred by strong demand for upgrading and maintenance of infrastructures.
As of December 31, 2007, the Group's consolidated revenue amounted to 11.7
billion euros, a sharp 8.9% increase against 2006, boosted by growing work-on-
hand throughout the year, excellent weather conditions, and amplified by the

of business activity, revenue rose 6.9%.
