On 27 February, FCC completed the res-
tructuring of its Board of Directors which
began in January with representatives from
Control Empresarial de Capitales S.A. de
C.V.
On this occasion it was the turn of the inde-
pendent Board Directors, as was announ-
ced at the time. Manuel Gil Madrigal, Henri
Proglio and Álvaro Vázquez de Lapuerta
have replaced Oliver Orsini, Gonzalo Ro-
dríguez Mourullo and Gustavo Villapalos.
The highest governing body of the Citizen
Services Group has been reduced to 12
members after the exit of Larranza XXI S.L.,
represented by Lourdes Martínez Zabala,
as was anticipated after the restructuring of
B1998.
The three new independent Board Direc-
tors of FCC were selected by means of a
prestigious Board Director selection firm.
