At sea but still in touch with the news THE tradition of reading a newspaper with breakfast is probably as universal as, say, starting the day with a cup of tea. Or coffee. So when holidaymakers choose to cruise the world on a luxury liner, they might well expect to prop up a copy of the daily beside their cereal and toast. You don't pay thousands of pounds to be denied one of life's little pleasures.

Tout d’abord, il s’agit bien d’un chiffre d’affaires net, c’est-à-dire “hors taxes et hors douanes”. Ensuite, la progression par rapport à l’exercice 1999 ressort à +32%. Enfin, le chiffre d’affaires est remarquablement équilibré entre les trois grands pôles de l’activité: 29% de transport routier, 33% d’aérien et 38% de maritime.
