The table does not include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables as well as other receivables and payables whose carrying amount corresponds to an adequate estimate of the fair value. The fair value hierarchy comprises the following three levels:

Level 1: stock-exchange quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: other factors which are observable on markets for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3: factors that are not based on observable market data.
