70 Financial Review of the Carlsberg Group In Germany, market conditions remain difficult and Hannen registered unsatisfactory results, cf. comments under Special items. Net turnover rose by 52.7% to DKK 6,062m, which is due to growth in BBH and Vena as well as the consolidation of TGLYPH<159>rk Tuborg, Turkey and Piast, Poland. Operating profit increased by 67.1% to 1,183m against DKK 708m last year. The increase is pri- marily attributable to organic growth in turnover and profit in Russia. In BBH, net turnover rose by 54% to DKK 3,659m. The total volume growth in beer of 30% stems from organic growth. BBH increased its market share in Russia to 30%, corresponding to a rise of about 3%-points compared to last year. The company thus continued its strong progress, both as regards volume and profit. In Russia, Vena saw significant growth and re- versed last yearGLYPH<213>s negative results to very satisfac- tory results.  In Poland, the implementation of Carlsberg OkocimGLYPH<213>s new structure has been initiated. It is expected to be operational by Q2, 2002. The mar- ket trend was weaker than expected and results are unsatisfactory. The Piast brewery has been consolidated with effect from 1 August 2001. In Turkey, Carlsberg Breweries increased its share- holding in TGLYPH<159>rk Tuborg to 82.46%. The company has experienced difficult market conditions and operating profit is slightly negative. The brewery has been consolidated with effect from 1 July 2001. As in previous years, this item includes significant non-recurring amounts. Special items net amounted to DKK 17m against DKK 428m last year. During the financial year, results of other associ- ated companies showed a modest decline compared to last year. One of the reasons for this decline is the deficit from Royal Scandinavia, which was not included under this item last year when the company was a subsidiary. To the opposite effect, CCNB (the former Coca-Cola GLYPH<211>Anchor BottlerGLYPH<211> and previous owner of the Nordic Coca-Cola companies) realised positive results during the winding-up phase. Net turnover increased by 2.7% to DKK 1,891m. Most markets showed modest progress. Operating profit rose by 17.5% to DKK 417m. The increase is primarily due to the sale of the loss-making brewery in China last year. Other operating income mainly relates to sale of property and land at TuborgGLYPH<213>s former brewery site. Carlsberg is co-operating with external partners on the construction and sale of non-residential property and rented accommodations. To this must be added the operating profit from the GroupGLYPH<213>s investments in property.
