	3rd Quarter		January – September
Million €	2009	2008	2009	2008
Losses from currency conversion and foreign currency transactions	(30)	67	348	164
Oil and gas exploration expenses	25	74	76	182
Miscellaneous	784	479	1,861	1,036
Other operating expenses	779	620	2,285	1,382

In the first three quarters of 2009, Miscellaneous included special charges of €739 million (same period of 2008: €201 million), €302 million of which were in the third quarter (third quarter of 2008: €64 million). This was primarily the result of the integration of Ciba, mostly due to the amortization of the Ciba IT system, the use of inventory valued at market prices at the time of the acquisition and the restructuring of sites. Due to the higher share price, additions were made to provisions for the BASF option program under Miscellaneous in the third quarter of 2009.
