Provisions for mining damage

Provisions for mining damage also consist primarily of non-current provisions. They are recognized at the settlement amount discounted to the balance-sheet date. As in the previous year, a discount rate of 5.0 % was used. In the reporting period, additions to provisions for mining damage amounted to €104 million (previous year: €210 million). Of this, an increase of €42 million (previous year: €128 million) was capitalized under property, plant and equipment and thus did not have an impact on income. The interest accretion of the additions to provisions for mining damage amounted to €135 million (previous year: €123 million).
