The provisions for product warranties include contractual and statutory obligations arising from the sale of industrial trucks, spare parts and automation solutions. It is expected that the bulk of the costs will be incurred within the next two years after the reporting date.
The provisions for personnel comprise provisions for partial retirement obligations, long-service awards, annual bonuses, severance pay, obligations under social plans and obligations under the employee equity programmes. The provisions for partial retirement obligations are recognised on the basis of individual contractual arrangements and agreements under collective bargaining law.

Total restructuring provisions (including obligations under social plans and termination benefits) came to €28.5 million as at 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: €33.2 million).
