Independence of the Directors
The Nominating and Compensation Committee proposes to the Board of Directors the list of Directors to be recommended to the Shareholders' Meeting, as well as the list of the independent Directors according to generally recognized criteria for corporate governance.
Upon the proposal of the Committee, and in conformity with the 2002 AFEP-MEDEF Report on corporate governance published in France, the criteria that the Board has adopted for evaluating the independence of its members is the absence of any material relationship with Total, or Total's management which could compromise the independent judgment of a Director. In its evaluation, the Board examines the specific criteria listed in the report mentioned above.
At its meeting on February 13, 2007, the Board, acting on a proposal from the Committee, determined that, as of December 31, 2006, the following directors were independent: Messrs. Bouton, Collomb, Desmarais, Jacquillat, Jeancourt-Galignani, Levene, Lippens, Pébereau, de Rudder, Tchuruk and Vaillaud. |
