The decrease in income from currency conversion and foreign currency transactions in the first three quarters of 2009 was a result of currency fluctuations with regard to the U.S. dollar and the British pound. The increase in Miscellaneous in the third quarter of 2009 resulted from income from divestitures of €18 million (third quarter of 2008: €0 million).
