those business tax components are shown as income tax as of 2010. It also excludes in FY 2009 the positive impact on gross profit of EUR 25 million due to favorable developments
in France resulting in the reassessment of existing accruals and the negative impact of EUR 7 million on gross profit due to a sales tax accrual in the UK related to prior years, as
