The conditions of related-party transactions are presented in note 35.2 of the supplementary information and explanatory notes.
Trade receivables do not bear interest and usually have 14 to 120 days maturity.
The Group has implemented an appropriate policy related to sales only to verified customers, and applies receivables insurance and other forms of security. Consequently, according to the management’s opinion, there is no additional credit risk exceeding the level established by the write-down of the Group uncollectible receivables.
