These provisions, which did not correspond to a prior injection of fresh capital by the state as shareholder, were reclassified as capital contributions and posted under the corresponding item in the upper part of EDF's balance sheet, together with the other equity items (paid-in capital, contributed capital, etc., see Table 2).
Ces provisions, qui ne correspondaient pas à un apport d'argent frais préalable de l'État actionnaire, ont été requalifiées en dotations au capital, passant vers le poste correspondant du haut de bilan d'EDF, parmi les autres capitaux propres (capital, dotations etc. — Tableau 2).
