The adjustments of permanent differences in the direct result concerns mainly adaptations regarding non-tax deductible expenses and adaptations as a result of the notional interest deduction facility in Belgium. The adjustments of permanent differences in the indirect result concerns mainly the positive effect due to tax rate changes in Great Britain, Norway, Finland and Denmark.

The total deferred tax assets relate to tax-deductible losses, the notional interest deduction facility in Belgium and the interest deduction still to be settled in France. The total deferred tax assets include amounts recoverable for a limited period - varying from 7 to 9 years - amounting to EUR 39.3 million (2012: EUR 46.8 million). The recoverability of the tax-deductible losses included in the deferred tax assets has been tested against the most recent business plan. Based hereupon, it was determined that a provision is not necessary.

The transfer of deferred taxes in 2012 of EUR 20.5 million is linked to changes in legislation regarding compensation of losses of foreign permanent establishments with Dutch profits. Up to and including 2011, deferred tax assets pertaining to these losses were offset with passive deferred tax balances because of the claw back provision applicable to these losses. As a result of the change in legislation, losses suffered by the foreign permanent establishments can no longer be offset against profit in the Netherlands and the deferred taxes over these losses must be stated separately.
