Re:  Section 198 Notification


       Enclosed is a Section 198 Notification dated 15 April 2005.


The Capital Group Companies, Inc. ('CGC') is a holding company for several
subsidiary companies engaged in investment management business. The investment
management business is divided into two operational groups, represented by
Capital Research and Management Company ('CRMC') and Capital Group
International, Inc. ('CGII'). CRMC is a U.S.-based investment adviser that
manages The American Funds Group of mutual funds. CGII is the parent company of
five companies that serve as investment managers to various institutional
clients around the globe: Capital Guardian Trust Company in the U.S., Capital
International, Inc. In the U.S. and Singapore, Capital International Limited in
the United Kingdom, Capital International S.A. in Switzerland and Capital
International K.K. in Japan. For a more complete description of our
organization, please visit our Web site at www.capgroup.com.

Neither CGC nor any of its subsidiaries own shares of your company for their own 
account. Rather, the shares reported in this Notification are owned by accounts 
under the discretionary investment management of one or more of the investment 
management companies described above. Furthermore, CRMC and CGII act separately 
from one another and from CGC in exercising investment discretion over their 
managed accounts.


For the purposes of this Notification an outstanding share balance of 
624,055,505 shares was used to calculate the percentages of holdings of the 
relevant share capital which determine the notifiable interest. We believe this 
outstanding share balance is current.
