Austria made the point in connection with the sale of holdings that BB had already disposed of holdings amounting to EUR 3,5 million that were not necessary for its operations in the period from 2001 to July 2003, with the result that the holdings in its portfolio as at 31 December 2000 were reduced by around one third.
Seoses osaluste müümisega selgitas Austria, et BB loobus juba perioodi 2001 kuni juuli 2003 tegevuseks mittevajalikest osalustest 3,5 miljoni euro ulatuses, millega vähenesid seisuga 31. detsember 2000 osalused panga portfellis umbes ühe kolmandiku võrra.
