reimbursement or a right to reduce future contribu-
tions, the surplus amount is recognised in accor-
dance with IAS 19 as an asset under miscellaneous
assets. A liability is recognised under pension provi-
sions in the case of funded plans where the pension
expense exceeds the contributions paid to the fund.
Actuarial gains or losses may result from in-
creases or decreases in either the present value of
the defined benefit obligation or in the fair value of
the plan assets. Causes of actuarial gains or losses
include the effects of changes in the measurement
parameters, changes in estimates caused by the
actual development of risks impacting on pension
obligations and differences between the actual and
expected return on plan assets. Past service cost
arises where a BMW Group company introduces a
defined benefit plan or changes the benefits payable
under an existing plan.
Based on the measurement principles con-
tained in IAS 19, the following funding status ap-
plies to the Group’s pension plans:
in euro million Germany UK Other countries Total
