Accounting principles Interest income and expenses are recognised using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a pay- ment is established. Borrowing costs are generally recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. When an item of intangible asset or property, plant or equipment is involved in a major and long-term investment project, the borrowing costs directly due to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset are included in the asset’s acquisition cost. The Group presents net interest income and expenses related to defined benefit plans as financial income and expenses.
