by the Board at its meeting held on February 27, 1995, following the international best
practices.
Although recognised by the “Olivencia” Report (1998)1 and the “Aldama” Report (2003), the
constitution of this type of Committees in the Board of Directors of listed companies, was

Currently, Article 34 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors of Repsol, S.A. establishes
