21. Pensions and similar obligations
Provisions for pension benefit plans and similar obligations are
comprised of the following components:
Defined pension benefit plans
The Group provides pension benefits with defined entitlements
to almost all of its employees, which have to be accounted for as
defined benefit plans and are funded in large part with assets.
Starting in 2008, the majority of the active employees are entitled
to pay-related defined pension benefits. Under these plans,
employees earn benefits for each year of service. The benefits
earned per year of service are dependent on the salary level
and age of the respective employees.
Funded status. The following information with respect to the
Group’s pension plans is presented separately for German plans
and non-German plans. In 2006 and 2005, the non-German
plans were principally comprised of plans in the United States
still including the Chrysler plans. In 2007, as a result of the
deconsolidation of Chrysler, the Group’s provisions for pension
benefits and the corresponding plan assets decreased signifi-
cantly.
The funded status has developed since 2005 as follows:
