Additions to property, plant and equipment in the first quarter of 2012 arose from a number of investments. Material investments were related to the construction of production facilities for L-menthol and methanesulfonic acid in Ludwigshafen, the construction of natural gas pipelines and storage facilities in Europe and investments for maintenance and expansion, in particular at the sites in Ludwigshafen; Geismar, Louisiana; Port Arthur, Texas; and Nanjing, China. The depreciation of property, plant and equipment includes €12 million in impairment charges.

In intangible assets, disposals are primarily related to the derecognition of fully amortized distribution and supply rights and IT licenses. Transfers includes the market value adjustments of emission rights as of the balance sheet date, which did not have an impact on earnings.
