INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement:
(a)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, filed on June 6, 2003 (the "Annual Report"), pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");
(b)
All other reports of the Registrant filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report referred to in
paragraph (a) above; and
(c)
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (Registration No. 0-29554), filed on December 3, 1997
under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended by:
(i)
the description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-97551), filed on July 30, 2002
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and
(ii)
the Restated Articles of Association of the Registrant filed as Exhibit 1.01 to the Annual Report.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the
date hereof, and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4.    Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.    Indemnification
A simple majority of the stockholders at the annual meeting of our stockholders may discharge directors and the statutory auditor from liability to us relating to the performance of their respective duties with
respect to a given fiscal year after the presentation of a management report and the annual
accounts by our directors and presentation of the statutory auditors' report to the stockholders. Stockholders who
approve this discharge are generally precluded from bringing derivative suits on behalf of us on such grounds. A discharge of director or auditor liability approved at a stockholders meeting is not valid where the annual accounts do not accurately
reflect our state of affairs and business results. Violations of our Articles of Association or Belgian Company Law may only be discharged if specifically disclosed to the stockholders. A discharge does not relieve such persons from liability to
third parties or for violations of Belgian Company Law or our Articles of Association. Notwithstanding a general discharge, directors and auditors may be held liable for willful misconduct and fraud in the performance of their duties.
We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors
and certain of our officers and plan to enter into similar agreements in the future. Generally, each indemnification agreement is intended to provide the maximum protection permitted by Belgian law with respect to the indemnification of the director
or officer. The indemnification agreements provide that we will pay certain amounts incurred by a director or officer in connection with any civil action or proceeding (excluding actions by or in our name, i.e. derivative suits) where the
individual's involvement is by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer. Such amounts include, to the maximum extent permitted by law, attorneys fees, judgments, damages, penalties, settlement amounts and other expenses
customarily incurred in connection with legal proceedings. Under the indemnification agreements, a director or officer will not receive indemnification if he is found not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in
our best interests.
We also maintain directors' and
officers' liability insurance.

Item 9.    Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
