'However, trade conditions for our European companies are seriously influenced by high energy costs and extreme CO2 taxes, together with a large part of the chemical industry in Europe, which is struggling or closes. We witness the de -industrialization of Europe.

'As a result, we had to implement cost -saving measures throughout the company. We tried to reach a sensible agreement with the All Blacks to adjust our sponsorship in the light of these challenges.

'Unfortunately, instead of working on a managed solution, new -Zeeland -Rugby have chosen to take legal steps against their sponsor. We remain in constant discussion with rugby from New Zealand. '
