The foreign currency exchange rate gains result from the measurement of financial receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and the measurement of the related derivatives. The year-over-year decrease in foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses (see also note 10 Other expenses) is primarily attributable to less volatile exchange rates compared with 2009.
Sundry income includes grants of €7,737 thousand (2009: €9,312 thousand). For the most part, this sum related to the lump-sum reimbursement of employer's social security contributions in connection with short-time working allowances linked to the economic situation. Income from grants recognised in the income statement in each financial year is offset by the relating expenses reported under functional costs.
