DCC has asked us to point out that, contrary to comments in yesterday's Current Account column, the food division remains a core element of DCC's business and the company is fully committed to developing what is a highly profitable business. DCC's FTSE reclassification to Business Support Services comes into effect from the close of business on December 31st, 2001, and arises from FTSE's abolition of its Distributors Sector from that date.
