In light of the judgment of 13 May 2003 handed down by the European Court of Justice, the Spanish government, through Act 62/2003 of 30 December on tax, administrative, labour and social security measures, amended the legal regime provided in Act 5/1995 of 23 March governing the disposal of public shareholdings in certain undertakings and Royal Decree 929/1998 of 14 May, which defined the application of the legal regime to Endesa, S.A. and certain companies of its Group.

There were two important changes. The first entailed the elimination of the system of prior administrative approval, replacing this with one of administrative involvement after the act or adoption of the resolution subject to disclosure. However, no such act or resolution may take effect while under review. The second is that the new law allows the government to oppose the act or resolution disclosed only where it detects significant risks or negative effects, direct or indirect, on the business carried out by the companies, in order ensure that the services are managed and provided appropriately, in accordance with certain objective criteria set out in the legislation.

Similarly, the legal framework narrows the scope of entities and subject matter to which the disclosure regime applies with respect to the previous system. Specifically, the disclosure regime established in this law applies particularly to corporate acts and resolutions taking effect in the Spanish market to acquire, directly or indirectly, shares of Endesa, S.A., Endesa Generación, S.A. and Endesa Distribución Eléctrica, S.L., as well as other securities, instruments or rights that may give a right, directly or indirectly, to subscribe or acquire such shares, where it results in the ability to call on at least 10% of the share capital of Endesa, S.A. or of the aforementioned subsidiaries. The above notwithstanding, with respect to Endesa, S.A. as a listed company, purely financial acquisitions which are not designed to obtain participation in the control and/or management of Endesa, S.A. are exempt from the disclosure requirements.

Meanwhile, also subject to the regime established in this law are acts and resolutions adopted regarding the disposal or encumbrance, in any manner and by any instrument, of the shares or equity securities held by Endesa, S.A. in Endesa Generación, S.A. and Endesa Distribución Eléctrica, S.L. In this connection, any securities that may give a right, directly or indirectly, to subscribe or acquire such shares are treated as equivalent to shares.

Lastly, corporate resolutions adopted by the aforementioned companies for voluntary dissolution, spin-off or merger need only be disclosed.

Endesa has signed the UN Global Compact, which promotes voluntary action by business in respect of corporate social responsibility by adopting ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour and environment.

Endesa has internal Corporate Integrity Rules comprising the Charter Governing Senior Management, the Charter Governing Executives and the Employee Code of Conduct. These rules develop the principles and values of the Company, lay down the criteria governing dealings with customers and suppliers, and establish the principles that should guide employees in their work: ethical conduct, professionalism and confidentiality. They also establish the limitations and incompatibilities deriving from their status as executives and senior executives. All these documents are available on this web page.

III. PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

1. Data protection policy

   Endesa warrants compliance with Organic Law 15/1999, of 13 December, governing the protection of personal data. This law is intended to guarantee and protect the public liberties and fundamental rights of natural persons, and in particular their personal privacy and the privacy of their families, with regard to the processing of personal data. In short, it aims to protect the fundamental rights of individuals and, specifically, those set out in Article 18 of the Spanish Constitution.

   Since this law was enacted, Endesa affirms that it complies with the legislation with respect to all personal data stored and processed and, accordingly, the principles, recommendations and requirements set forth therein.

   Endesa reserves the right to modify its Data Protection Policy at any time in order to adapt to and comply with any new legislation. In this respect, users of this website will be duly informed of any changes in this policy with sufficient notice before they take effect.

2. Collection, purpose and processing

   Via its web pages, Endesa makes a broad catalogue of services available to users to meet their real needs effectively. To apply for these services, users must register using the links provided on the various web pages where such services are explained and published and provide any personal data required. Once this is done, users will become REGISTERED USERS.

   Users should be aware that there is a specific legal notice on each of links on the various web pages on which Endesa offers services, providing them with the appropriate information and seeking their authorisation to process the personal data provided upon requesting the related service.

   Users should also be aware that in order to request services, they are required to provide certain personal details, but may choose not to provide other voluntary information. This is because Endesa aims to guarantee that the service requested is provided correctly at all times. The data provided in the forms must be truthful. Its processing, automated or manual, is essential for the provision of the service requested.

   Endesa notifies all users that certain personal data collected through the forms are included in files that are duly declared to the Spanish Data Protection Agency. However, other personal data are collected solely for the purpose of providing the requested service. Therefore, given the temporary nature of this information once this purpose is achieved, the information is deleted, in compliance with all statutory safeguards.

   User data may be collected on the various Endesa web pages and used for proprietary or third-party advertising or commercial offers of Endesa Group and third-party companies with which partnership agreements are entered into for products and services related to the supply of energy, telecommunications and internet, financial services and insurance, and household equipment and assistance under the terms and conditions provided on each web page.

3. Security measures

   In order to ensure an efficient Data Protection Policy, Endesa has adopted various technical and organisational security measures as stipulated in prevailing legislation. To this end it has adopted the necessary measures and mechanisms to avoid the alteration, loss, misuse, unauthorised processing or access or theft of any personal data, having regard to the state of the art. Notwithstanding the above, it should be noted that, given the global nature and characteristics of the internet, these measures are not entirely impenetrable.

4. Transfer of personal data

   Transfer of data to Group companies

   Endesa hereby informs all users that personal data submitted may be transferred to other companies of the Group* (as defined in article 4 of the Securities Markets Act), Group holdings or any other third parties with whom Group companies have cooperation agreements, in order to comply with the purposes described in point 2 above.

   Transfer of data to third parties

   As a general rule, personal data will not be transferred to third parties except when this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or where a contractual relationship for data processing is in place for the purposes of providing a specific service. In any event, users should know that in the event of this type of transfer, the transfer shall only be made after receiving express consent by the user.

5. Users’ rights

   Organic Law 15/1999, of 13 December, governing the protection of personal data, gives interested parties a number of rights enabling them effectively to protect their right to honour and personal and family privacy.

   To this end, online users may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection as stipulated in prevailing data protection legislation.

   To exercise these rights, used must send a signed and written request to the postal address appearing in the heading of this legal notice. The following information must be included: user’s full name, address, photocopy of national identity card and request.
