Claim: 1-9. (canceled)
Claim: 10. A catalyst component for polymerizing olefins comprising Mg, Ti, halogen and an electron donor obtained by a batch process comprising: reacting an adduct of formula MgCl2(ROH)n, wherein R is a C1-C10 alkyl group, and n is from 0.5 to 6, in a liquid medium comprising a titanium compound, the titanium compound comprising at least one Ti—Cl bond, at a temperature ranging from 0° C. to 80° C. and then removing the liquid medium to form a first solid product; subsequently reacting the first solid product in a liquid medium comprising an electron donor (ED) selected from ethers, esters, ketones, silanes, amines, nitriles and amides, and a titanium compound comprising at least one Ti—Cl bond at a temperature higher than 80° C. to form a second solid product, and then, after removing the liquid medium; subsequently reacting the second solid product with a liquid medium comprising a titanium compound comprising at least one Ti—Cl bond at a temperature higher than 80° C.
