Income from the disposal of non-current financial assets and loans is disclosed under income from investments if it relates to investments; otherwise it is recorded as part of the financial result as is the income from the disposal of current marketable securities.

An increase of €5 million in other operating income is attributable to changes in the scope of consolidation.
