*The rate of compensaton increase for the Netherlands consists of a general compensation increase and an individual salary increase based
on merit, seniority and promotion. The average individual salary increase for all active participants for the remaining working lifetime is
0.9% annually and did not change in 2004. The rate of general compensation increase for the Netherlands has changed in 2004 because
of the change from a final-pay to an average-pay pension system which incorporates a limitation of the indexation. Until 2008 the rate of
compensation increase to calculate the projected benefit obligation is 2%. From 2008 onwards a rate of compensation increase of 1% is
included.
