accomplished and well-respected senior executive with a strong financial
background and reputation for delivering shareholder value in major, complex,
international organisations. With his considerable experience, I am confident
Andy will make a significant contribution to the RELX Board.

On behalf of the Directors, I would like to thank Robert for the valuable
service that he has given RELX, as a member of the Board and in performing the

very best wishes for the future."
