XBRL Taxonomy Update, October 2, 2017

On October 2, 2017, the EDGAR system was upgraded to Release 17.3.1 and now supports the 2017 IFRS taxonomy. The 2017 IFRS taxonomy reflects the same taxonomy that the IASB made available on its website on March 9, 2017.

Please see http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edgartaxonomies.shtml for a complete listing of supported standard taxonomies.

The staff strongly encourages companies to use the most recent version of taxonomy releases for their XBRL exhibits to take advantage of the most up-to-date tags related to new accounting standards and other improvements.
