Note 56 Share in profit/loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements

The share in results of companies invested in after tax was down by €141 million, mainly owing to lower profits from the network operator and the absence in 2016 of a share in the profit of Endinet Groep B.V. following the sale of that company.

The share in results from discountinued interest in subsidiaries and associates arises in connection with the sale of Endinet.
