for like), France (+7.4% on like for like) and America (+6.0% on like for

Europe and Southern Europe(2) (respectively +0.6% and +0.9% on like for like),
impacted by difficult local economic situations, and Asia Pacific (+2.1% on
like for like), still suffering from the natural disasters that hit the region
earlier in the year.
