due to currency effects was offset by the reclassification of<br />
inventories to the balance sheet item “assets held for sale”<br />
in the context of the agreed-upon sale of consumer electronics<br />
stores in france.<br />
Inventories include write-downs of €317 million (previous<br />
year: €348 million).<br />
26. Trade receivables<br />
Of total trade receivables of €526 million (previous year:<br />
€539 million), €1 million (previous year: €2 million) is due<br />
in over one year.<br />
The decline in trade receivables is essentially attributable<br />
to the decline in the commission business compared to the<br />
previous year. In addition, a reclassification to the item<br />
“assets held for sale” was carried out in the context of the<br />
disposal of the french consumer electronics stores.<br />
This was partly offset by the opening of new locations in the<br />
context of the expansion and special sales promotions at the<br />
end of the year.
