With regard to trade accounts receivable that are neither impaired nor delayed, as of the reporting date, there are no indications that the debtors will not meet their payment obligations. Write-downs of outstanding trade accounts receivable amount to € 16.6 million as of the balance sheet date.
The increase in trade accounts receivable is due to the fact that the program to sell receivables was discontinued in 2008.
