The change in foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses is attributable to exchange rate movements (see also note [9]).
The impairment recognised on non-current assets in the reporting year comprised impairment losses of €1.2 million on intangible assets (2012: €4.8 million). In the previous year, impairment losses of €16.3 million had been recognised on other property, plant and equipment. The impairment losses in 2012 were largely caused by the planned closure of production sites.
