Let $X$ be a group with an invariant metric, $A$ and $B$ nonempty subsets of $X$ with $B$ compact. It is proved that if $A$ is an existence set [1] (approximatively compact [2]) then $A+B$ and $B+A$ are existence sets (approximatively compact). An example is given of a one-dimensional linear metric space (with an invariant metric) in which there exist an approximatively compact set $A$ and an element $v$ such that $A+v$ is not an existence set.
