| PRYSMIAN GROUP
after a brilliant 2012, the telecom business
of prysmian was negatively affected in 2013
by the drop in demand for fibre optical cables
in north and south america, which more
than offset the positive trend linked with
important projects, such as those with bt
in the united kingdom, telefonica in spain
and nbn in australia, as well as emerging
sales channels in eastern europe and india.
the ending of the stimulus program in north
america prompted the drop in demand.
