The slight increase in the purchase commitment in property, plant and equipment was particularly due to the planned capital expenditure projects relating to own construction services and the procurement of new vehicles. In the case of some supply arrangements, there are independent admissions of guilt with regard to fulfilling the purchase commitment; these are opposed by claims of the same amount, backed by bank guarantees and insurance policies with very good ratings. The purchase commitment for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment also contains future obligations for vehicles in connection with transport contracts to be recognized in accordance with IFRIC 12.
